SM Raju's vehicle misjudged a landing during a daring car stunt and flipped multiple times, killing him on the spot. Following the stuntman’s tragic demise, Tamil stars Suriya, Silambarasan TR, and Vishal came forward to provide financial support to his family.

Coming back to Dacoit, the movie was initially set to feature Shruti Haasan as the female lead, but she stepped out of the project for undisclosed reasons. It was then that Mrunal Thakur came on board. Director Pa Ranjith and 3 Others Booked for Stuntman SM Raju’s Death on Set of Arya’s Upcoming Film; Charged With Negligence and Culpable Homicide.
