'VVan– Force of the Forest': Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia to Star in New Thriller
Produced by Balaji Telefilms Ltd in association with TVF Motion Pictures and 11:11 Productions, the film is backed by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar, and Niraj Kothari.
At the Prime Video Presents: India launch of their new 2026 slate, Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia's new film VVan– Force of the Forest was announced.
The film tells the story of a rational, city-bred man who returns to his ancestral village, dismissing its age-old beliefs as superstition. Rooted in logic and modernity, he refuses to heed warnings about a forbidden forest tied to his lineage. But when he crosses its boundaries, he unknowingly awakens an ancient, divine force—a goddess whose power defies everything he understands about the world.
What begins as disbelief soon turns into dread, as strange and unexplainable events begin to unfold. The village is gripped by a growing darkness, and whispers of folklore begin to feel all too real. As chaos mounts and danger closes in, he is forced to confront the limits of reason and the existence of forces beyond human comprehension.
Caught between skepticism and faith, he undergoes a profound transformation. No longer just an outsider looking in, he becomes deeply entwined with the fate of the village and its people. As the threat escalates toward annihilation, he must rise to the occasion, embracing a role he never imagined for himself—that of a protector.
