Billed as a gripping thriller, "Vvan: Force of the Forest" has been set against the backdrop of Central India.

The movie is expected to talk about wild forests, age-old legends, and secret temples. It is believed that the story has been inspired by Indian folklore. The movie will revolve around an unprecedented scenario where age-old myths start coming to life.

Made under the direction of Deepak Mishra, along with Arunabh Kumar, the drama has been backed by Ekta Kapoor under her banner of Balaji Motion Pictures, in collaboration with The Viral Fever (TVF).

The makers have been raising excitement for the project with every update.

In April, Tamannaah joined the cast of "Vvan: Force of the Forest" as the leading lady. The announcement was made with a gripping teaser, which showed Tamannaah running barefoot in a red saree towards a forest.

She was further seen lighting a lamp and encountering a sign that read, “Warning: Entering the forest after sunset isn’t allowed.” However, her face was not revealed in the video.

"Vvan: Force of the Forest" is expected to be released in the cinema halls on 15th May 2026.

Sharing the release date of the movie on social media, the makers wrote, "The forest has whispered. The force will be unleashed on 15th May, 2026! Get ready for the big screen adventure!”
