Filming for Dhaakad, which has been shot in Budapest in Hungary and in Madhya Pradesh, began in 2019 and the film was originally expected to hit the screens in time for Diwali 2020.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused production delays and early last year the film's release was pushed back to October 2021. In October, the makers announced that the film would be released on 8 April 2022.
Sharing pictures from the film with the announcement, Ranaut wrote, "The unstoppable force of Agent Agni is fast approaching!"
Dhaakad is presented by Soham Rockstar Entertainment Pvt Ltd, in association with Kamal Mukut, Sohel Maklai Productions and Asylum Films.
