Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah are already creating curiosity around their fresh on-screen pairing, and the launch of “Samjho Na”, the first song from The Vvaan, only amplified the buzz.

Moving away from the mystery, supernatural forces and folklore-driven world of The Vvaan, “Samjho Na” introduces a softer and more romantic side of the film. Sidharth and Tamannaah brought their on-screen chemistry into the spotlight at the launch, with their camaraderie receiving an enthusiastic response from the audience.

The event also featured Jubin Nautiyal, whose vocals added to the romantic mood surrounding the track. The crowd’s excitement around Sidharth and Tamannaah’s pairing further underlined the curiosity building around their first collaboration.

Composed and produced by Tanishk Bagchi, “Samjho Na” features vocals by Jubin Nautiyal and Suvarna Tiwari, with lyrics penned by Manoj Muntashir. Krishna Kishor has handled additional live production, while Eric Pillai at Future Sound of Bombay has mixed and mastered the track. Michael Edwin Pillai serves as assistant mix engineer.

The Vvaan expands beyond conventional fantasy storytelling by combining Indian folklore with adventure, mystery, humour and supernatural elements. The film also has a larger universe taking shape through The Legend of Vvaan comic book, offering audiences an early glimpse into the folklore behind the cinematic world.

Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with TVF and 11.11 Production, The Vvaan brings together TVF’s Arunabh Kumar, director Deepak Mishra, Ektaa R Kapoor and an ensemble of creative talent.

Written by Arunabh Kumar and directed by Deepak Mishra, the film features Manu Anand as DOP and Visual Director. It is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar and Niraj Kothari.

With “Samjho Na” opening the romantic chapter of the film, attention now turns to how Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah’s chemistry fits into the larger folklore fantasy. The Vvaan is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on September 25, 2026, promising a theatrical blend of music, romance, mystery, adventure and spectacle.

Toxic Trailer Review: Yash’s Dark and Stylish Avatar Promises a Fierce Action Spectacle

The much-awaited trailer of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups has finally arrived, and it makes one thing clear; Yash is returning to the big screen with a world that looks far removed from the conventional mass-action template.

Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film presents Yash as Raya, a character surrounded by violence, power, ambition and an unsettling sense of mystery.

The trailer immediately creates an atmosphere that feels dark, chaotic and visually ambitious. Instead of revealing the complete story, it carefully offers glimpses into Raya’s dangerous world, leaving enough unanswered questions to keep the curiosity alive. The combination of gangster drama, stylised action and fairy-tale imagery gives Toxic a distinct identity.

Yash, meanwhile, appears completely comfortable in this larger-than-life space. His intense screen presence, controlled body language and unpredictable expressions make Raya look like a character driven by both power and personal darkness. For an actor returning after the phenomenal success of the KGF franchise, the biggest challenge was always going to be creating something that did not simply remind audiences of Rocky Bhai. The trailer suggests that Toxic is attempting exactly that.

The supporting cast adds further weight to the film. Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tovino Thomas, Akshay Oberoi and Sudev Nair are part of the ensemble, indicating that the film is not designed around Yash alone. The presence of such a strong cast hints at a layered narrative involving relationships, rivalry and power struggles.

Technically, the trailer looks particularly promising. Rajeev Ravi’s cinematography gives the film a gritty yet stylised texture, while Ravi Basrur’s music appears designed to amplify the scale and intensity. The action sequences have a raw, aggressive quality, while the production design creates a world that feels deliberately larger than reality.

What stands out most is the confidence of Geetu Mohandas’ visual storytelling. Toxic appears to be aiming for something more experimental than a straightforward gangster action film. The film’s title, A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, seems to be reflected in its strange blend of fantasy-like imagery and brutal adult themes.

Overall, the Toxic trailer succeeds in generating curiosity without giving away too much. Yash’s transformation into Raya, Geetu Mohandas’ unusual visual language, powerful action and the film’s impressive technical scale make Toxic one of the most anticipated Indian films of the year.

If the trailer is any indication, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups could offer audiences a stylish, violent and unconventional cinematic experience when it reaches theatres worldwide on August 26, 2026.

Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar Reunite for ‘Bhooth Bangla’: A Dark Dive into Folklore and ancient methods of Black Magic!

Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar Reunite for ‘Bhooth Bangla’: A Dark Dive into Folklore and ancient methods of Black Magic!

Exclusive

The iconic duo that redefined Indian comedy is back, but this time, the laughs might come with a side of chills.

After a 14-year hiatus, Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar are reuniting for Bhooth Bangla, a project that is already showed waves through the fans to our Indian film industry. While fans initially expected another Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the makers have teased something far more atmospheric. This isn't just a "haunted house" flick; it’s a deep dive into the courageous world of Indian folklore and black magic.

The Director Mr. Priyadarshan stated, “Unlike the slapstick horror-comedies, audience will see Bhooth Bangla is being framed as a horror-fantasy thriller and the narrative supports heavily into rural superstitions and folklore. The audience will experience the ancient practices of real black magic.” Mr. Priyadarshan is highly known for his masterful pacing and technical brilliance, is reportedly focusing on "mood-based horror". He added, “You can expect long shadows, eerie silence, and the kind of suspense that gets under your skin!”

The Akshay-Priyadarshan harmony gave us cult classics like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa. However, Bhooth Bangla represents a shift. Priyadarshan has expressed his desire to explore the supernatural through a more traditional, "earthy" lens, moving away from the gloss of modern horror and back to the storytelling roots of Indian suspense.

Production and Release-

Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures, the film is expected to feature a massive ensemble cast, staying true to Priyadarshan’s signature style of having multiple eccentric characters driving the plot. With filming slated to progress through 2025, the buzz is already positioning this as a major box-office contender.

If you’re a fan of suspense thrillers that trade cheap jump scares for a rich, haunting atmosphere, Bhooth Bangla is likely the most anticipated title on your radar.
