The OTT Deal & What to Expect

After creating massive online buzz post its theatrical release, Dacoit: A Love Story is making its way to OTT on May 8, 2026. Reports suggest Netflix has secured the digital rights in a multi-crore deal.

Since it’s a pan-India production, the movie will allegedly be available in multiple languages including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam — making it accessible to a wider audience. That’s great news for fans across India who prefer watching in their mother tongue. Storyboard18

Netflix has become one of India’s most dominant OTT platforms for South Indian content, and Dacoit fits perfectly into its growing roster of regional blockbusters.

Who Made It?

While Sesh played the lead role, he also co-wrote the screenplay with debutant director Shaneil Deo, with additional screenplay contributions by Kaarthikeya Kalakota. The film was bankrolled by Supriya Yarlagadda under Annapurna Studios and shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi. Storyboard18

That dual-language shoot speaks volumes about how seriously the makers took their pan-India ambitions from day one.
