Summary
- Film 'Vvaan' is inspired by a 400-year-old temple legend.
- The temple is located in Bihta, near Patna, Bihar.
- The story centers on a goddess protecting locals from negative energies.
The film 'Vvaan,' scheduled for a September 25 release, is inspired by a fascinating 400-year-old legend originating from the Van Devi Temple in Bihta, Bihar. Located approximately 35 km from Patna, this ancient shrine is the central theme of the movie.
Writer Arunabh Kumar was inspired by his mother's accounts of the temple, which is said to be guarded by a goddess who protects locals from negative energies believed to inhabit the surrounding jungle. A unique tradition dictates that no one stays at the temple premises after evening prayers.
Producer Ektaa Kapoor encouraged the large-scale cinematic adaptation upon hearing the compelling folklore. The film aims to bring this rich Indian tradition and the mystique of the Van Devi Temple to a wider audience.
