Finally some fresh pairing! Sidharth and Tamannaah look 🔥 in the posters. Love that they're exploring Indian folklore - we need more original content like this instead of remakes. Hope the story does justice to the amazing locations they've shot in!

May 2026 is too far away yaar! 😫 But the concept sounds interesting - ancient temples + forests + thriller elements. Just hope Ekta Kapoor doesn't turn this into another typical masala movie. The TVF association gives me some hope though.

Sidharth needs this after his last few average performances. Tamannaah is underrated - she was brilliant in Baahubali. Hoping this folk thriller gives her the Bollywood recognition she deserves. The Central India forest setting is unique too!

Why announce a date 2 years in advance? By 2026, half the audience will forget about this movie. They should've waited till post-production was complete. That said, the concept does sound intriguing - like a desi Indiana Jones maybe?

Balaji + TVF combination is interesting! One makes typical masala, other makes brilliant content. Hope they find the right balance. Also, shooting in real forests must have been tough - respect to the team for that effort. Waiting for the trailer now!

Tamannaah's Hindi accent still needs work, but she's a fantastic actress. Hope they've cast her according to her strengths. The folk angle is what excites me most - our country has so many untold stories from different regions. More power to such concepts! 🙌
