The Supernatural Mystery Awaiting Audiences
Bollywood is buzzing with excitement as Siddharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia gear up for their upcoming supernatural thriller film. Marking their very first on-screen collaboration, the fresh pairing has created immense curiosity among moviegoers. As the release date approaches, trade analysts and fans alike are eager to gauge how strong the opening day box office numbers will turn out to be.
Directed by Deepak Mishra and written by Arunabh Kumar, the film brings a unique blend of horror and ancient folklore to the silver screen. Backed by Balaji Motion Pictures, the movie also stars Shweta Tiwari, Manish Paul, and Anup Singh in pivotal roles. The distinct genre choice marks a major shift for Siddharth Malhotra, who is exploring the supernatural space for the very first time in his illustrious career.
Rooted in a 400-Year-Old Mysterious Temple in Bihar
The core narrative of the film draws heavy inspiration from a real, chilling legend deeply embedded in Indian soil. Filmmakers revealed that the plot is based on the 350 to 400-year-old Vvan Devi temple located near Patna. According to local folklore, entering the temple premises after sunset is strictly forbidden, and even the temple priests refuse to stay overnight due to eerie paranormal beliefs surrounding the deity.
Tamannaah Bhatia expressed her deep appreciation for the script, stating that it was one of the most compelling narratives she had come across in a long time. The actress also shared her excitement about working alongside Siddharth Malhotra, praising his dedication and exceptional acting prowess throughout the grueling shooting schedules.
Festival Holiday Advantage and Box Office Expectations
Releasing during the auspicious occasion of Anant Chaturdashi, the film is poised to leverage holiday advantages across key states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Bihar. Trade experts estimate that the movie could comfortably pull in between 6 to 9 crores on its opening day in the domestic market, provided the positive initial word of mouth translates into ticket sales.
