Overview
- The film’s official trailer was released on Wednesday and teases a folklore‑rooted fantasy about a sceptic drawn into a forbidden forest without revealing key plot twists.
- Producers have set a confirmed theatrical release date of September 25, 2026, and began festival‑linked promotions with Sidharth Malhotra visiting Lalbaugcha Raja the day before the trailer launch.
- The trailer foregrounds a clash between villagers protecting a sacred forest and forces pushing development, framing environmental and cultural stakes rather than offering full explanations of the mystery.
- Marketing extends beyond the film with a prequel comic titled The Legend of Vvaan and a devotional sequence, ‘Chhathi Maiya,’ presented as a carefully staged depiction of Chhath Puja.
- The project marks a high‑profile collaboration between TVF and Ektaa R. Kapoor’s Balaji, features Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s first on‑screen pairing, and fits a wider industry turn toward folklore‑led spectacles.
