  • "Vvan: Force of the Forest stars Sidharth Malhotra, Tamannaah Bhatia"
  • Ekta Kapoor produces, praised for deep creative involvement
  • Both actors express excitement and trust in the project

The upcoming Hindi-language mythological folk thriller Vvan: Force of the Forest is already building strong buzz, and much of that excitement comes from the team behind it. Produced by Ekta Kapoor, the film stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in lead roles, both of whom recently spoke about their experience working with the producer and her distinctive approach to storytelling.

Sidharth Malhotra, who shares a long-standing association with Ekta Kapoor, didn’t hold back in expressing his admiration. He highlighted how rare it is to find a producer so deeply involved in the creative process. “I have never had a producer who could narrate me the film from start to finish,” he said. “The amount of hard work that she has put into this film, along with this prolific team, is truly commendable. But because I’ve known her the longest, I have to say I am most excited about my project.”

What stands out in Sidharth’s statement is not just appreciation, but trust. He clearly sees Ekta as more than a producer, someone who understands the story at its core and is willing to drive it with clarity. That kind of involvement often shapes the final film in a big way, especially in a genre like mythological thrillers where world-building matters.

Tamannaah Bhatia, on the other hand, is collaborating with Ekta Kapoor for the first time, and her excitement feels more personal. She described the project as something she had been hoping for. “Of course, it’s my first collaboration with Ekta, and it’s been my heart’s desire to work with her — Tamannaah ki dil ki tamanna hai Ekta,” she said with a smile.

Her words reflect a different kind of energy. For Tamannaah, this isn’t just another film, it’s a long-awaited collaboration finally coming to life. That emotional investment often translates into stronger performances on screen.

Here’s the thing. When both lead actors speak this openly about a producer’s vision, it usually signals a project where creative alignment is strong. And in a film like Vvan: Force of the Forest, which promises a mix of folklore, mythology, and thriller elements, that alignment becomes even more critical.

With Ekta Kapoor steering the project, and two actors who seem fully invested, the film is shaping up to be more than just another release. It feels like a carefully built world backed by intent, something audiences are already beginning to look forward to.
