Reports Indicate 'VVAN' Will Skip May 15 Release After 'Bhooth Bangla' Shift

The makers have not announced a new date despite industry reports pointing to a move to avoid a same-day clash.

Overview

  • Bollywood Hungama, echoed by News18, reports the folk thriller is likely moving off May 15, though the change remains unconfirmed by the team.
  • A source cited in those reports links the shift to Ekta Kapoor’s Bhooth Bangla being moved to May 15, making a same-day double release impractical.
  • A new behind-the-scenes photo of Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia on set has drawn strong social media engagement for their first on-screen pairing.
  • The film is positioned as a folklore-rooted thriller set in Central India and is being shot in real forest locations following an earlier teaser reveal.
  • VVAN is presented by Balaji Motion Pictures with TVF in its first feature venture, with credits to writers-directors Deepak Mishra and Arunabh Kumar, DOP Manu Anand, and producers Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar, and Niraj Kothari, and it remains slated for a 2026 theatrical release.
