While he could easily stick to the tried-and-tested action-hero formula, Sidharth Malhotra is opting to venture into cinematic territory rarely explored by mainstream Hindi film industry at such a grand scale. Leading Vvaan, an ambitious folklore fantasy, the actor is bringing together ancient Indian mythologies, supernatural intrigue, adventure, and a massive theatrical experience.

And that choice feels consistent with the actor’s career. Sidharth has repeatedly spoken about his desire to avoid getting boxed into one kind of role. In an interview, he said, “I have always tried to do different genres and entertain my audience with interesting films.” He added that, as an actor, he finds it important to keep experimenting rather than simply filling his calendar with films.

His filmography bears that out. After making his debut with Student of the Year, he moved into the unconventional romantic comedy Hasee Toh Phasee, followed it with the dark, revenge-driven Ek Villain, explored the critically acclaimed family drama Kapoor & Sons, attempted the time-bending romance Baar Baar Dekho, took on the spy thriller Mission Majnu and then delivered one of his career-defining performances in the war biopic Shershaah. Even within action, he has deliberately looked for different worlds, from Mission Majnu’s espionage backdrop to Yodha’s hijack thriller.

In fact, Sidharth has previously described this instinct as wanting to “surprise the audience with roles that I haven’t done before.”

That makes Vvaan an especially interesting bet. This isn’t simply another action film with a different setting. The film is attempting to build an original folklore world around Indian beliefs, supernatural forces, mythology and a forbidden forest, while presenting it as a mainstream theatrical entertainer.

For Sidharth, then, the risk isn’t just taking on a new character. It is choosing to lead a Hindi commercial film in a genre that doesn’t come with an established formula.

And perhaps that is exactly why Vvaan fits the actor’s long-running instinct to keep moving rather than repeat himself. As he once said, “Every film is challenging and about reinventing myself.”

With Vvaan, that reinvention takes him somewhere Bollywood rarely goes, into Indian folklore, but with the ambition of a full-scale mainstream spectacle and aren’t we seated!

Backed by some of the country’s most distinctive storytellers, The Vvaan brings together TVF’s Arunabh Kumar, director Deepak Mishra and Ektaa Kapoor for a commercial film that attempts to take Indian folklore into a new cinematic space. While its world is rooted in folklore and fantasy, the film brings together adventure, mystery and humour to shape itself as a complete family entertainer. The ambition extends beyond the film, with The Legend of Vvaan comic book already introducing audiences to the larger folklore surrounding its universe.

Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with TVF and 11.11 Production, The Vvaan stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia. Written by Arunabh Kumar and directed by Deepak Mishra, with Manu Anand as DOP and Visual Director, the film is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar and Niraj Kothari.

The Vvaan arrives in cinemas on September 25, 2026, promising a big-screen fantasy folklore experience where the visuals, music, mystery and scale come together to create a world audiences will want to step into.

Watching our cinema stars bring honour and respect to the uniforms of pride inherently evokes a deep sense of patriotism. Whether it is Varun Dhawan in Border 2, Akshay Kumar in Rustom, or Siddharth in Operation Safed Sagar, our actors haven’t missed a beat in igniting national pride while paying homage to our defense forces. This Independence Day, we take a look at the actors who made the military uniform truly iconic on screen.

#JackieShroff – Border Jackie Shroff starrer Border continues to top the list of impactful patriotic films. As Wing Commander Anand Bajwa, Jackie Shroff brings an incredible level of gravitas and maturity with his years of experience as an actor, making the film a must-watch this Independence Day!

#AkshayKumar – Rustom Akshay Kumar stepped into the shoes of naval commander Rustom Pavri, an honourable and patriotic officer who returns from a long tour of duty to discover that his wife is having an affair with his close friend. With apt maturity and believability, Kumar proves to be the perfect fit for the role, one that continues to be remembered for patriotism and grit.

#VickyKaushal – URI: The Surgical Strike Vicky Kaushal packed a punch of adrenaline and josh in URI: The Surgical Strike. The film turned modern-day Para special forces’ operations into a full-blown cinematic extravaganza. The film gave a national catchphrase with ‘How’s the Josh?’, and also offered audiences a chest-thumping theatrical high!

#Siddharth – Operation Safed Sagar Operation Safed Sagar marks the latest Netflix release of Siddharth, wherein he steps into the shoes of Air Force Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja, a valiant Veer Chakra recipient who made the ultimate sacrifice during the 1999 Kargil conflict.

#HrithikRoshan – Lakshya & Fighter In 2004, Hrithik Roshan delivered a timeless performance as Captain Karan Shergill in Lakshya, showcasing a soldier’s life during the Kargil War. As the role continues to be celebrated even today, Hrithik stunned everyone as a fighter pilot, Squadron Leader Shamsher “Patty” Pathania in Fighter.

Varun Dhawan – Border 2 After creating his own niche in the space of rom-com, Varun Dhawan arrived with a bang in the patriotic war drama space with Border 2, a blockbuster that saw him as Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya, PVC – Indian Army officer from the 3rd Battalion of The Grenadier Regiment. Shedding layers of his boy-next-door image, the actor brought a sense of maturity to his character, making it a standout amongst his recent releases.

#SidharthMalhotra – Shershaah Sidharth Malhotra-starrer Shershaah continues to remain one of the most emotionally resonant war dramas in Bollywood’s recent memory as it tells the real-life story of Captain Vikram Batra, the Kargil War hero honoured with the Param Vir Chakra.

Which of these patriotic spectacles are you binging this Independence Day?

Upon being asked the most filmy thing he has done for love, Malhotra revealed, “One would be celebrating six months of dating, where I planned where the car will stop, how as soon as she opened the car, there were flowers, leading her to a restaurant. I arranged a lot of flowers, made a nice trail going to the table. And there was a nice handwritten letter there.”

Sharing a romantic thing a partner has done to impress her, Kapoor said, “I would say he had taken a really long trip, gone through a long journey to come and meet me for a short span of time. Once from London to Bombay, to see me for just like 5 hours because I had a really bad dream and I was panicking.”

Revealing his idea of a perfect date, Malhotra said, “A good place on a good evening which is not so hot. Then, after a meal, a walk on the beach. I’m more of a beach person. So definitely, a nice date on the beach. A walk at night.”

On her most ridiculous excuse to turn down unwanted advances, Kapoor revealed, “I’ve said I’m married a lot. Someone coming up to me in person has mostly been outside of India. A lot of waiters in LA would send me their phone number or get me something that I didn’t order. I was with Orry once and said he’s my husband.”

Kapoor also revealed her dealbreaker for a first date, she said, “The first date is a big one. They shouldn’t show up late, in fact they should show up early. They should seem nervous.” She continued, “Intangible and emotional gestures mean a lot more to me than tangible materialistic things.”

On being asked his learnings about love through the making of Param Sundari, Malhotra revealed, “Param and Sundari’s love story will make you believe in faith and in destiny, in the most funny and weirdest way. If two people are destined to meet, fate will find a way to bring you together.”

Kapoor added, “I don’t think love is only romantic. There is a lot of love we both have towards our work. During our tough days, it wasn’t thinking about the finish line or how maybe we’ll reap certain rewards that was making us go through with it. I think it was purely for the love of cinema, or the idea that we’ll create something that is fun and memorable to watch.”
