The likes of Sunil are also seen in key roles in this action drama, being directed by Shaniel Deo, who makes his debut with this film. Though the story looks simple, the manner in which the action blocks are cut is amazing. Adivi Sesh is known as the king of thrillers, and things have gone to the next level with Dacoit.

Anurag Kashyap plays the main villain in the film, and the way his character is etched is just amazing. Speaking at the teaser launch, Anurag stated that he had to unlearn a lot of things and was even irritated with the way the film was being shot for longer hours and days. Anurag also adds that the moment he saw the final output, he was taken aback and says that Mrunal Thakur is the show stealer in the film.
