In addition to its compelling narrative, Dacoit has garnered attention for other reasons. The original female lead, Shruti Haasan, departed from the project after nearly a month of filming due to creative disagreements. She has since been succeeded by Mrunal Thakur, who has already begun filming and completed a significant portion of her role.

Moreover, the film includes a crucial police character, and it has been confirmed that the renowned Hindi director Anurag Kashyap will portray the antagonist. His portrayal as Inspector Swamy has been revealed, featuring a unique look reminiscent of an Ayyappa devotee, suggesting a special context for his character. He has also started filming, marking his debut in Telugu cinema.

Produced by Supriya Yarlagadda and Suniel Narang, Dacoit is being filmed concurrently in both Telugu and Hindi. The film's score is composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, heightening anticipation.
