Although her face was not shown in the clip, the ‘Baahubali’ actress was seen running barefoot in a red saree towards a forest.

The teaser also showed her lighting a lamp and encountering a sign that read, “Warning: Entering the forest after sunset isn’t allowed.”

Finally some fresh content from Sidharth! After Shershaah, I've been waiting for him to take on another intense role. The forest backdrop and folklore angle sound intriguing. Hope it's not just style over substance though. Fingers crossed! 🌿

Tamannaah in a red saree running through forests? Giving me strong Chandramukhi vibes! 😄 But seriously, Indian folklore has so much untapped potential for cinema. Hope they do justice to our rich cultural stories instead of just using it as a backdrop.

Balaji + TVF collaboration is interesting! But 2026 is too far away yaar. By then we'll have forgotten about this announcement. Why can't Bollywood stop announcing films 2 years in advance? Just shoot and release when ready!

As someone from Madhya Pradesh, I'm excited to see Central India's forests on screen! Hope they capture the real beauty and mystery instead of overdoing CGI. Our tribal folklore has such amazing stories - fingers crossed they consult actual tribal storytellers for authenticity.

The teaser sounds promising but I'm skeptical about Ekta Kapoor producing this. Her serials are all about drama - hope she doesn't turn this into a supernatural saas-bahu story set in jungle! Sidharth deserves better scripts after Shershaah's success.

More forest-based films please! After Kantara showed how regional stories can work, it's good to see mainstream Bollywood exploring our roots. Just hope they don't westernize the folklore elements too much. The 'warning sign' in teaser already has me hooked! 🔥
