Telugu actor Adivi Sesh has given fans a first glimpse into the emotional arc of his upcoming bilingual action-drama, Dacoit: A Love Story (also known as Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha), with the release of a poster teasing the new romantic single “Rubaroo.”
Sharing the poster on X, Sesh wrote: "He LOVED her. She BETRAYED him. #Rubaroo Before he became a #DACOIT, On Feb 27th …You Will Know What Happened to Him. You Will Hear What He Felt. @mrunal0801"
The post teases the pivotal love-and-betrayal sequence that shapes his character’s descent into crime, starring alongside Mrunal Thakur. The February 27 release date refers specifically to the song’s debut via Sony Music, rather than the full movie, which faced production delays due to an on-set injury.
The film is now slated for theatrical release on April 10, 2026, after postponing from the original March 19 date to avoid clashing with other major releases like Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic.
Accompanied by stylized visuals evoking the deserts of Rajasthan, the poster builds anticipation for the movie’s ex-convict revenge narrative. Though the initial engagement on social media was modest, the teaser has generated early buzz among Telugu cinema fans intrigued by the mix of romance, betrayal, and crime.
Directed by Shaneil Deo in his debut, and co-written by Deo and Adivi Sesh, Dacoit: A Love Story features an ensemble cast including Anurag Kashyap as a cop, along with Prakash Raj, Sunil, and Atul Kulkarni. The story follows a wrongfully convicted man who seeks vengeance against his former lover after her betrayal, ultimately drawing the duo into a series of heists that alter their lives forever.
With “Rubaroo” setting the emotional tone, fans are eager to see how Sesh’s character transitions from love-struck to vengeful dacoit, promising a blend of high-stakes drama, romance, and action for the 2026 cinematic lineup.
