Tamannaah Celebrates Faith with Chhathi Maiya in The Vvaan’s First Bollywood Chhath Tribute — Song Out Now

Tamannaah Bhatia anchors a festival-forward moment in The Vvaan, a folklore fantasy presented by Balaji Motion Pictures in association with TVF and 11.11 Production. The Chhathi Maiya song marks Bollywood’s first on-screen portrayal of Chhath Puja within this cinematic universe and serves as a spiritual thread that ties the film’s mythic world to regional heritage.

The track channels the devotional flavor of Chhath Puja, rooted in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand, and is highlighted as a centerpiece of the film’s spiritual arc. The team describes the song as a tribute to the festival’s cultural significance and to the goddess worshipped during the occasion, aiming to convey a sense of devotion to cinema audiences.

Tamannaah herself spoke of the moment as surreal, noting that celebrating Bihar’s pride and Patna’s cultural ethos through the track was a meaningful experience for the cast and crew. The song’s creators echo that sentiment, framing the Chhath-inspired sequence as a gateway to the film’s larger folklore-fantasy universe.

Singer-composer Vishal Mishra emphasizes the historic aspect of the project, describing it as an honor to bring the Chhath tradition—anchored in the regions of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand—into Hindi cinema for the first time. He has dedicated the track to his people, underscoring the track’s cultural resonance within the film’s broader celebration of roots and identity.

Musical credits for Chhathi Maiya include Vishal Mishra as the singer and composer, with lyrics by Kaushal Kishore. Chinni Prakash is credited with choreography, supporting the track’s blend of devotional mood and cinematic movement.

The Vvaan’s fictional world expands beyond the film through The Legend of Vvaan, a connected comic book, while the movie itself is positioned as a family entertainer that fuses Indian folklore with adventure, mystery and humor. The project is described as a collaboration that blends traditional motifs with contemporary cinema sensibilities, and its universe is designed to appeal to audiences seeking mythic storytelling with a modern cinematic edge.

From a production standpoint, The Vvaan is produced by Balaji Motion Pictures in association with TVF and 11.11 Production. The film’s key team includes Arunabh Kumar (writer), Deepak Mishra (director) and Manu Anand (cinematography). The producer lineup features Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar and Niraj Kothari, with Tamannaah and Sidharth Malhotra starring in pivotal roles.

The film is slated for a theatrical release on September 25, 2026, with Zee Music serving as the music label for the Chhathi Maiya track. The narrative and musical elements together are positioned to foreground a culturally rooted, festival-inspired cinematic experience for audiences across the country.
