The makers of The Vvaan – Force of the Forest have officially locked their theatrical release date, announcing that the high-budget folklore fantasy will arrive in cinemas on September 25, 2026. Alongside the date announcement, a striking new poster was unveiled, offering a deeper look into the film’s mysterious, mythic universe.
The newly released artwork features a dramatic top-down perspective of a lone warrior standing at the center of a circling bull and a tiger. Packed with heavy symbolism, the imagery highlights the scale and intricate world-building of this original cinematic universe, which focuses on entirely new mythology rather than adapting existing folklore.

The ambitious project seeks to establish a fresh Indian storytelling franchise. The groundwork for its extensive lore has already rolled out via The Legend of Vvaan comic book series, which serves as a prologue to the world audiences will experience on the big screen.
The film promises a wide-spanning theatrical spectacle blending:
High-octane action and adventure
Immersive fantasy elements driven by extensive VFX
Light-hearted comedy and situational humor

Now talking about the cast, it is headlined by the fresh on-screen pairing of Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia. Now, talking about the direction, it is helmed by Deepak Mishra (known for his acclaimed work in the digital space) from a screenplay written by Arunabh Kumar.
It is shot by Manu Anand, who serves as both the cinematographer and visual director to ensure an immersive big-screen experience. Now, talking about the Producers seems to be an ambitious joint venture, which is between Balaji Motion Pictures (Shobha Kapoor and Ektaa R. Kapoor) and TVF Motion Pictures (Arunabh Kumar and Niraj Kothari), in association with 11:11 Productions.
With its fresh release date secured for the end of September and the promotional campaign gaining momentum, The Vvaan is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated original fantasy releases of 2026.
