Sidharth Malhotra's 'Vvan' Faces Another Release Delay
The much-anticipated mythological folk thriller 'Vvan - Force of the Forest' starring Sidharth Malhotra has hit another roadblock. Producers have decided to push back the film's release once more. This move aims to avoid a direct box-office clash with Akshay Kumar's upcoming horror-comedy 'Bhooth Bangla'.
Release Date Shuffle to Prevent Clash
Originally planned for a 2025 debut, the film later locked in May 15, 2026 as its release date. However, recent developments have forced another change. The makers discovered that Ekta Kapoor-backed 'Bhooth Bangla' now occupies that same May 15 window.
To prevent both films from competing directly, the team behind 'Vvan' has chosen to postpone their project. The new release date remains undisclosed at this moment. Industry insiders suggest the updated schedule might be revealed alongside the first look materials.
First Look Arriving on Sidharth's Birthday
While the release date stays uncertain, fans can expect exciting developments soon. According to Bollywood Hungama reports, the first look of 'Vvan - Force of the Forest' will debut on January 16. This date coincides with Sidharth Malhotra's birthday.
A source close to the production revealed interesting details. "The makers plan to unveil a poster featuring Sidharth Malhotra this Friday. He sports a massy, never-before-seen appearance in the film. His fans and general audiences will likely be surprised and enthusiastic about this fresh look."
What 'Vvan - Force of the Forest' Promises
The film presents an intriguing mythological adventure rooted in Indian folklore. The story follows a warrior tasked with protecting a mysterious forest. This forest holds ancient secrets while facing imminent threats.
The narrative blends several exciting elements:
- Deep connections to Indian mythology and rural legends
- Fantasy and supernatural undertones
- Adventure and mystery throughout the plot
- The protagonist's powerful bond with nature
Beyond Sidharth Malhotra, the film features Tamannaah Bhatia in a significant role. The directorial team brings experienced hands to the project. Arunabh Kumar and Deepak Kumar Mishra, known for their work on the popular web series 'Panchayat', co-direct this cinematic venture.
This delay marks the second major schedule change for 'Vvan'. The production team appears determined to find the perfect release window. They want to ensure the film reaches audiences without facing stiff competition from other major releases.
