According to reports, the film's original director Deepak Kumar Mishra and the team associated with The Viral Fever (TVF) are no longer involved in steering the project. The editing and creative work is now reportedly being handled by Niraj Kothari and Sahir Raza, under the supervision of producer Ektaa Kapoor.

The reported changes come after the makers reviewed the film and decided to revisit several portions of the project. The reshoots are expected to focus particularly on the film's action sequences and climax, with the intention of giving the story a stronger theatrical impact.

Sidharth Malhotra Reportedly Asked for Additional Shoot Days

Sidharth Malhotra is reportedly closely involved in the reworking of the film. According to reports, the actor has committed 17 additional days for the reshoot schedule and has pushed for changes to the action portions and climax.

The additional filming comes as the production team works against a tight deadline before the movie's scheduled theatrical release.

What Is The Vvaan About?

The Vvaan: Force of the Forest is a folklore-inspired fantasy thriller featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead roles.

The story follows a rational, urban man who returns to his ancestral village and enters a forbidden forest despite warnings from the locals. His actions awaken a powerful supernatural force, leading him into a battle to protect his people from a mysterious threat.

The film combines elements of Indian folklore, mythology, mystery, fantasy and thriller, making it a different genre choice for Sidharth Malhotra.

Release Date Remains September 25

Despite the reported production changes, the makers have confirmed that The Vvaan: Force of the Forest is scheduled to release in cinemas on September 25, 2026. The release date was reaffirmed by Balaji Motion Pictures even after reports of the reshoots and creative changes surfaced.

The film has already gone through multiple changes to its release schedule, making the latest reshoot and re-editing reports particularly significant for fans waiting for its theatrical debut.

A New Creative Direction for the Film

The reported overhaul suggests that the makers are putting considerable effort into strengthening the final product before its release. With changes reportedly being made to the climax, action sequences, editing and direction team, expectations surrounding the film have increased.

The Vvaan brings together Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in a new pairing and attempts to bring Indian folklore and supernatural storytelling into a mainstream theatrical format. With the film now scheduled for September 25, audiences will be watching closely to see how the extensive creative changes reflect in the final version.
