Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia are set to share screen space for the first time in Vvan, and anticipation around the film is steadily building. After the makers recently dropped an intriguing teaser that hinted at the film’s mystical tone, a fresh behind-the-scenes picture of the lead pair has now surfaced online—sending fans into a tizzy.
The sneak peek from the sets of Vvan captures Sidharth and Tamannaah in a warm, candid moment that’s impossible to ignore. Their never-seen-before pairing radiates charm, youthfulness, and an easy chemistry that instantly draws attention. Though it’s just a BTS glimpse, the image has already sparked excitement across social media, with fans praising their natural vibe and eagerly awaiting their on-screen dynamic.
Coming together for the first time, the duo brings a refreshing energy that many viewers have been craving. The photograph has only amplified curiosity around Vvan, with fans convinced that this fresh pairing could be one of the film’s biggest highlights. Within hours of the image going viral, fan pages and comment sections were flooded with reactions calling the duo “unexpected but perfect.”
However, amid the growing excitement, there may be a slight change in the film’s release plans. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Vvan is likely to be postponed from its original release date of May 15. The reason? A potential box-office clash with Akshay Kumar’s Bhoot Bangla, which is also produced by Ekta Kapoor.

A source quoted by the portal revealed that Bhoot Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan and featuring Akshay Kumar, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, and the late Asrani, has been pushed to May 15 from its earlier April release. Releasing two films from the same production house on the same day was reportedly not considered practical. As a result, Vvan has been pushed, with the makers choosing to keep the new release date under wraps for now. It is expected to be announced with the film’s first-look poster.
Titled Vvan: Force of the Forest, the film is set against the backdrop of an ancient, mythical forest in Central India. Rooted in Indian folklore, the story unfolds in dense forest landscapes, with real locations used to enhance authenticity. The film is directed by Deepak Mishra and Arunabh Kumar and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, and Arunabh Kumar under Balaji Motion Pictures and TVF.
Meanwhile, Sidharth Malhotra was last seen in Param Sundari alongside Janhvi Kapoor. Despite the buzz, the film received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office. With Vvan, fans are hopeful the actor will make a stronger impact—especially with a fresh co-star and a genre rooted in mystery and folklore.
