VVAN: Force of the Forrest Set for Theatrical Release Next Year
The highly anticipated folk thriller VVAN: Force of the Forrest, featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia, is officially set to premiere in theaters on May 15, 2026. This film marks a unique collaboration between Balaji Motion Pictures and The Viral Fever (TVF), showcasing the first-ever on-screen pairing of Sidharth and Tamannaah, as well as being the inaugural project jointly produced by the two content powerhouses—Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms and TVF.
Directed by Deepak Mishra and Arunabh Kumar, VVAN delves into the rich tapestry of Indian folklore, promising a visually stunning and emotionally charged cinematic experience. Set against the mystical backdrop of Central India, the film unfolds a narrative steeped in ancient legends, hidden temples, and the enigmatic allure of an untamed forest that conceals secrets waiting to be discovered.
The story embarks on an intriguing journey where myth and reality intertwine, immersing audiences in a tale that celebrates the forgotten wisdom of the land. The filmmakers have gone to great lengths to ensure authenticity, shooting extensively in real forest locations to capture the raw beauty and eerie atmosphere of the region, bringing a folk legend to life like never before. VVAN: Force of the Forrest has already generated excitement among fans with the release of two-character posters earlier this year.
