On World Folklore Day, writer Arunabh Kumar revealed that his shared passion for Indian stories and temples with producer Ektaa Kapoor led to the creation of the upcoming film 'The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest'. The film, directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and TVF Motion Pictures, draws inspiration from Indian folklore, particularly the story of the Vandevi Temple in Bihta.
Arunabh credited Kapoor for immediately recognising the potential of the folklore and providing a grand canvas for the project. The film stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in lead roles, with Sunil Grover, Maniesh Paul, Anup Soni and Shweta Tiwari in supporting roles. Arunabh described the collaboration as a result of a 'mutual love for stories and temples', which included visits to Sidhivinayak Temple and Mukteshwar.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The collaboration between TVF and Balaji Motion Pictures marks an unusual pairing: TVF is known for digital-first, youth-oriented content, while Balaji has dominated television and mass-market cinema. The film's reliance on temple-based folklore, rather than mainstream mythology or historical epics, is a niche bet. Bihta's Vandevi Temple is a lesser-known site in Bihar, which may limit the film's built-in audience. Success will depend on how the spectacle, fantasy, action, comedy, translates a regional folk tale into a pan-India theatrical draw. The release date is not yet announced.
