TVF Ventures into Cinema with Folklore Action Film
2 Oct
Summary
- TVF shifts from digital series to a cinema release.
- The film 'Vvaan' is based on Indian folklore and legends.
- It features Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in lead roles.
The Viral Fever (TVF), traditionally known for its relatable digital content focusing on Indian youth and middle-class aspirations, is making a bold move into feature films. Their latest project, 'Vvaan - Force of the Forrest,' is a folklore-based action movie set to release in cinemas. This transition signifies a new chapter for TVF, moving beyond its established YouTube and streaming success.
The film, written by TVF co-founder Arunabh Kumar and directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, delves into Indian legends and myths. Kumar's fascination with the stories behind religious sites inspired the narrative, particularly a legend from Bihar about a forbidden temple. Producer Ekta Kapoor shared Kumar's vision for bringing these deeply rooted Indian tales to a wider audience.
'Vvaan' stars Sidharth Malhotra as an urban man who visits his hometown and confronts age-old beliefs during the Chhath Puja festival. The narrative unfolds over four days, exploring the tension between superstition and belief. Earlier this year, TVF released a comic book adaptation of 'Vvaan,' introducing the legend to its audience in a different format. Kumar promises that the film will retain TVF's signature relatability while offering a grand big-screen experience.
