Last Updated:
Panchayat's Deepak Mishra teams up with Balaji & TVF for Vvan, starring Sidharth Malhotra & Tamannaah. Film prep begins after first schedule wrap.
After the tremendous success of Panchayat Season 4, director Deepak Kumar Mishra has already shifted gears, diving headfirst into his next big venture—Vvan, a much-anticipated collaboration between Balaji Motion Pictures (a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd) and The Viral Fever (TVF). The film, which stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in lead roles, has generated significant buzz since its announcement and is poised to be a landmark cinematic event.
What makes Vvan especially noteworthy is that it marks TVF's maiden foray into feature films. Known for their razor-sharp web content and series that have become cultural staples, TVF now teams up with Balaji Telefilms, one of India's most established production houses, to craft a unique theatrical experience. This alliance between two creative giants promises to bring a fresh narrative voice to the big screen—one that blends cinematic spectacle with the kind of intimate storytelling TVF is known for.
According to industry insiders, director Deepak Kumar Mishra, fresh off the success of Panchayat, is already deep into preparations for Vvan. The film's first shooting schedule was wrapped up in June, and the second is slated to begin in August. With the production gaining momentum, expectations are riding high, especially among fans eager to see Sidharth Malhotra in what's expected to be an intense and layered performance.
The promotional material, including posters and cast announcements, has only added to the anticipation. With excitement reaching a fever pitch, Vvan is quickly emerging as one of the most eagerly awaited releases on the horizon. Given its scale, cast, and the pedigree of its collaborators, it holds the promise of being more than just another release—it could very well be a cultural moment.
As preparations intensify and the film moves closer to completion, all eyes are now on what this Balaji-TVF partnership will bring to the silver screen. If the buzz is anything to go by, Vvan is all set to redefine the language of contemporary Indian cinema.

"I stand firmly with Diljit": Naseeruddin Shah defends singer amid 'Sardaar Ji 3' row
New Delhi [India], June 30 (ANI): Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah came in support of singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh amid the ongoing controversy against him for collaborating with Pakistani artist Hania Aamir in his film 'Sardaar Ji 3'. Amid the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, Diljit's recent collaboration with Pakistani artist Hania Aamir is facing massive backlash from social media, celebrities and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE). However, amid all this, Naseeruddin Shah has now expressed his support for Diljit, clarifying that the singer wasn't responsible for the film's casting, and expressed his disapproval of restricting personal interactions between India and Pakistan. He wrote, 'I STAND FIRMLY WITH DILJIT. The dirty tricks deptt of Jumla Party has been awaiting a chance to attack him. They think they've got it at last. He was not responsible for the casting of the film, the director was. But no one knows who he is, whereas Diljit is known the world over, and he agreed to the cast because his mind is not poisoned. What these goons want is to put an end to personal interaction between the people of India and Pakistan.' He further expressed love for his 'close friends and relatives' who reside in Pakistan. He wrote, 'I have close relatives and some dear friends there and no one can stop me from meeting them or sending them love whenever i feel like it. And my response to those who will say, 'Go to Pakistan', is 'GO TO KAILASA' FWICE has officially boycotted Dosanjh for his collaboration with Pakistani actress Aamir, stating that the singer-actor's association with the Pakistani artists has allegedly 'disrespected' the 'Indian sentiments,' especially following the terror attack at Pahalgam on April 22. 'It is important to bring to your notice that the said film (Border 2) features actor Diljit Dosanjh, who has been officially boycotted by FWICE owing to his involvement with individuals and content that have deeply disrespected Indian sentiments, especially by associating with Pakistani artists known for their anti-lndia views, and participating in projects filmed in sensitive border locations like Pahalgam immediately following terror incidents targeting our armed forces,' the letter read. Earlier, through a social media post, the makers of Border 2 announced that the film has entered its third schedule at the National Defence Academy in Pune. With this in the background, the film union body has requested Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh to 'withdraw' any permission granted to the 'Border 2' makers for filming in its premises. 'The NDA, being a national symbol of military training and sacrifice, must not be used as a backdrop for a film involving an actor who is currently under public and professional boycott due to acts that undermine the spirit of national unity and hurt the sentiments of our defence community.' The letter further read, 'ln this context, we strongly urge your good offices to withdra* qny permission granted for the shooting of the said film at the NDA property in Pune, and to initiate necessary action to ensure that the integrity of sensitive defence installations is not compromised or associated with individuals facing legitimate public outrage.' FWICE has also issued a 'noon-cooperative directive' to singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh after his collaboration with Hania Aamir in 'Sardaar Ji 3'.The film union body has demanded an unconditional apology from the actor for allegedly hurting the 'national sentiments' and disregarding the 'sacrifices' of the Indian soldiers by his actions. After the massive backlash from the film fraternity, FWICE and social media, the makers of Sardaar Ji 3 have announced that they will not release their movie in India. Meanwhile, 'Border 2' is the upcoming sequel to the 1997 blockbuster 'Border' and has a powerhouse production team, including Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta.
