Tamannaah Bhatia is set to take on a role unlike any before in the upcoming folk thriller VVAN – Force of the Forrest, starring opposite Sidharth Malhotra. Known for her powerful on-screen presence, Tamannaah will delve into a story deeply rooted in ancient folklore, mystery and suspense.
In the beautifully crafted motion poster released by Balaji Motion Pictures and TVF, we catch a glimpse of her character—draped in a maroon saree, sprinting barefoot through a dense, shadowy jungle. Upon seeing a warning sign, she’s visibly shocked but continues her journey, even when thorns draw blood. Her determination is clear as she lights a diya, defying the ominous forces of the forest.
Set in the mythical heartlands of Central India, the film will be shot in real forest locations, adding to its authenticity and intensity.
Backed by Ektaa R. Kapoor, directed by Deepak Mishra and Arunabh Kumar, the film promises to be a genre-defining spectacle. From glowing orange eyes hidden in forest canopies to ancient temples pulsing with energy, VVAN is set to ignite imaginations when it releases in theatres in 2026.
VVAN marks a major collaboration between two content giants—Balaji Motion Pictures and The Viral Fever (TVF). Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, has always been known for delivering bold, courageous, thrilling and gripping content to the masses. On the other hand, TVF has captured hearts with relatable stories that resonate with audiences as a whole. With both coming together, VVAAN promises to be a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience, offering something truly unprecedented.
The forest is alive—and it’s calling.
