The Vvaan – Force of the Forrest Trailer Unveils Destiny

The Vvaan – Force of the Forrest arrives with a trailer that positions the fantasy-thriller as a folklore-infused ride lacing mystery, adventure and humor. The two minute and 44 second clip showcases Sidharth Malhotra as a man who doubts the legends surrounding his hometown, only to be pulled into a sequence of unsettling events after he returns home with his wife. The film is scheduled to release on September 25, 2026, and the trailer signals a destiny-bound ordeal that unfolds within a forested, otherworldly landscape.

Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, The Vvaan trailer emphasizes a world where the forest and its fantastical environment drive the narrative. Music is highlighted as a key atmospheric element, with the score contributing to the tone as the story blends fantasy, folklore and moments of light-hearted adventure. The production team includes Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar and Niraj Kothari, while Manu Anand handles cinematography and Arunabh Kumar writes the screenplay. The musical lineup features Vishal Mishra, Amit Trivedi, Tanishk Bagchi and Sam CS, with Nitin Baid serving as editor.

In addition to Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead roles, the film features a supporting ensemble that includes Sunil Grover, Maniesh Paul, Shweta Tiwari and Anup Soni, among others. The project marks a collaboration across a multi-talented team that aims to create a spectacle built around a man’s journey from disbelief to acceptance of a destiny linked to the forces he once dismissed.

DPIFF’s release listings confirm The Vvaan as part of the upcoming slate, with a release date anchored to late September 2026. The project positions itself as a cinematic venture that leans into the mystique of a hometown legend reinterpreted through a modern fantasy-adventure lens.
