Kangana Ranaut's long-mooted actioner, Dhaakad, will release on April 8, 2022, the makers have announced.

Directed by Razneesh Ghai, Dhaakad is a big-scale spy thriller and the first of its kind in India to feature a female lead. Kangana's character in the film is named Agent Agni. It also stars Arjun Rampal (as the antagonist Rudra) and Divya Dutta.

Dhaakad was shot in Bhopal, Budapest, and Mumbai. The film will see Agni taking on the world of child trafficking and exploitation of women.

Talking about the release date, Kangana says, “Dhaakad is the kind of film that’s best relished on the big screens. It’s a deeply stirring subject and we have made it on a scale that only theatres could do justice to. The layered story at the heart of it needs to reach out to the masses and I am certain, the film will speak to women across the board. I can’t wait for the audience to meet Agent Agni on April 8.”

Director Razy Ghai adds, "Dhaakad is a special movie that will always have my heart. As a team, we wanted to put our best foot forward. My intent was to ensure that Dhaakad stood at par with international action films. Our producers were a strong pillar of strength for us throughout. It was an incredibly challenging film to make. I am so thrilled for the audience to experience the rage and fury of Agni.”
