Just when the buzz around Dacoit Ek Prem Katha was hitting a fever pitch, the makers have decided to lean into the film’s beating heart before its bullets fly. The bilingual action drama, headlined by Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, is set to unveil its romantic track Rubaroo on February 27, 2026, positioning the song as a glimpse into the love story that existed before the film’s world spirals into betrayal and vengeance.
The track also marks the first big musical window into the Adivi Sesh and Mrunal pairing, which has been one of the film’s biggest talking points ever since the project was announced. With the film mounted on a pan-India scale and shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu, Rubaroo is being pitched as a “soulful” add that will widen the film’s emotional palette beyond its gritty action set-up.
Rubaroo Release Date Confirmed For February 27, 2026
The makers have officially announced that Rubaroo will release on February 27, 2026. Framed as a romantic ode, the song is being positioned as a look at the characters’ softer past, a time “before he became a dacoit,” tying directly into the film’s central idea of love curdling into something far more dangerous.
The film’s ensemble is also drawing attention for the presence of Anurag Kashyap in a pivotal acting role. In a previously shared statement about joining the project, Kashyap said, “Playing a police officer who is an Ayyappa devotee is both fun and challenging. The conundrum of duty versus dharma and going about his job with a dry sense of humor is fantastic.”
