# The Vvaan: Tamannaah and Sidharth Malhotra film opens September 25 with early booking buzz

> Deepak Kumar Mishra's folk fantasy thriller The Vvaan, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia, reaches theatres on September 25, with early advance sales reportedly led by Bihar thanks to its Chhath Puja backdrop.

Tamannaah Bhatia is back on the big screen this week. Her Hindi film The Vvaan, co-starring Sidharth Malhotra, arrives in theatres on September 25. Deepak Kumar Mishra directs, and Anup Soni, Shweta Tiwari and Maniesh Paul play key roles alongside the lead pair.

The film is billed as a folk fantasy thriller. It follows a rational man from the city who gets pulled into the secrets of a sacred, forbidden forest. The trailer shows Chhath Puja celebrations along with the songs "Chhathi Maiya" and "Thummak Thummak". Reports say this is the first time Sidharth and Tamannaah have shared the screen.

The film has reportedly cleared the censor board with a U/A 16+ certificate and no cuts. Its runtime is reportedly 2 hours, 16 minutes and 25 seconds, with a first half of about 64 minutes and a second half of about 72 minutes.

Advance bookings have made a decent start. Early tracking put first day pre-sales at over 13,500 tickets, and a later update said sales had crossed 16,700 tickets, worth more than 41 lakh gross. Reports also say Bihar is leading the early sales, ahead of Delhi and Mumbai, which trade watchers call unusual. The Chhath Puja setting is seen as the main reason. Trade estimates for day one sit in the 5 to 8 crore net range, with some reports suggesting high single digits. Hanuman Ansh is still running strong in theatres, so the film will face some competition.

For Tamannaah, the release matters. Her recent Telugu films have not done well at the box office, and she has reportedly found more attention through special songs while new Telugu offers stay limited. She remains busy in Hindi films and web series. Strong word of mouth over the opening weekend will decide how far The Vvaan can go.
