Dhaakad is touted to be a high-octane one-of-a-kind female-led action drama.

Speaking about the film, Kangana earlier said in a statement: "Dhaakad is not only a benchmark film for my career but will be a turning point for Indian cinema as well. The film is mounted on a large scale, is one-of-a-kind female-led action film, and is apt for a Diwali release. If it is received well, there will be no looking back for women in Indian cinema."

Early this year, as the news of Dhaakad being shelved broke out, the film landed into a controversy after filmmaker Ahmed Khan was reportedly quoted saying that women-led action films perform poorly at the box office. Citing the example of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, Khan alleged that due to its failure, Dhaakad was shelved.

However, the director of the film confirmed that there was no truth to the news of Dhaakad being shelved.
