With a sharp sense of humour and contemporary storytelling, Abhishek Raj brings a unique edge to the film, while Rajneesh Thakur injects high-energy pacing and situational humour. Shaneil Deo is another director to watch out for with his romantic action thriller 'Dacoit: A Love Story'. Starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, the film was initially delayed due to an injury sustained by Adivi Sesh but is now set for a worldwide release on March 19. With a compelling story set against the backdrop of the dacoit era, 'Dacoit: A Love Story' promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience for both action and romance lovers. As these new directors rise to prominence, they'll undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the Indian film industry.
