The first glimpse of Vvan is now ready to step out of the shadows. Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that the teaser of the Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia starrer has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification, setting the stage for the film’s theatrical campaign to begin on April 16 with Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla.
For a film that has largely built intrigue through its title, genre and striking early announcement material, this is the first concrete sign that the makers are ready to unveil its world to audiences. The decision to launch the teaser in cinemas suggests that Vvan is being mounted as an atmospheric big-screen experience, with its folklore-heavy setting and suspense-driven tone expected to be central to that first impression.
A Big-Screen Reveal For Vvan Begins
The censor clearance now clears the path for Vvan’s teaser rollout in theatres. Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that the promo is scheduled to arrive with Bhooth Bangla on April 16, giving the film a strong exhibition window for its first public reveal.
Directed by Deepak Mishra and Arunabh Kumar, Vvan brings together Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in a folk fantasy thriller backed by Balaji Telefilms and TVF Motion Pictures, with Maniesh Paul and Shweta Tiwari also featuring in key roles. The film is set for a theatrical release on August 28, 2026, and its premise follows a rational urban man who enters an ancestral forbidden forest, only to find himself pulled into a clash shaped by forces far beyond reason. That blend of mythology, fear and mainstream scale has already made the project one of the more unusual Hindi releases on the calendar.
Why Vvan Marks A Fresh Turn For Sidharth And Tamannaah
For Sidharth Malhotra, Vvan stands out because it moves him away from the clean-lined action and uniformed intensity that have defined much of his recent screen image. After Mission Majnu on Netflix, the cop-driven world of Indian Police Force on Prime Video, and the theatrical action drama Yodha in 2024, rom – com Param Sundari in 2025, this film places him in a moodier and more elemental space. Instead of a mission-led setup, Vvan appears to lean into mystery, folklore and psychological tension, which gives the actor a noticeably different canvas.
Tamannaah Bhatia’s recent choices have also shown a willingness to move across tone, language and platform with ease, from the commercial horror-comedy success of Aranmanai 4 to Netflix’s Sikandar Ka Muqaddar. In that context, Vvan feels like a smart convergence point for both stars. It offers Tamannaah a large-scale Hindi theatrical vehicle with a distinctly rooted genre identity, while pairing her with Sidharth in a film that is aiming for atmosphere over formula. If the teaser lands the way the makers intend, Vvan could quickly move from a curiosity title to one of the most closely watched genre plays of the year.
