Mumbai Comic Con is about to get a distinctly cinematic jolt. On May 9, Sidharth Malhotra, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ektaa R Kapoor and Arunabh Kumar will come together at the Jio World Convention Centre to unveil Vvan, with the surprise centrepiece being the launch of The Legend of Vvan comic months before the film arrives in theatres. For a title that has carefully built intrigue through its imagery and casting, this is a striking way to turn curiosity into an event.
The move also stands out because mainstream Hindi film campaigns do not often use Comic Con as a live platform to introduce a parallel storytelling property ahead of release. Instead of relying only on conventional song, trailer and interview beats, the Vvan team is choosing a fan convention setting that rewards immersion, character mythology and visual world-building. That gives the film a sharper identity in a crowded promotional landscape.
Vvan Heads To Mumbai Comic Con On May 9
The official event announcement confirmed that the Vvan team will appear live at Mumbai Comic Con on May 9, 2026. The social media caption read, “A universe unfolds Catch Sidharth Malhotra, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ektaa R Kapoor & Arunabh Kumar LIVE as they unveil Vvan and launch The Legend of Vvan comic with Indusverse at Mumbai Comic Con. 9th May, 2026. Jio World Convention Centre. Get passes on @districtupdates, link in bio.”
That post firmly establishes the launch as a key public beat in the film’s rollout. With Ektaa R Kapoor and Arunabh Kumar joining the lead actors on stage, the event is positioned as both a promotional reveal and a statement of intent about how Vvan will be presented to audiences in the months ahead.
What We Know About Vvan So Far
Vvan is a horror comedy produced by Balaji Telefilms Ltd in association with TVF Motion Pictures. It is directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Arunabh Kumar, with the story written by Arunabh Kumar. The cast includes Sidharth Malhotra, Tamannaah Bhatia, Maniesh Paul, Sunil Grover, Shweta Tiwari and Anup Soni.
The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on August 28, 2026. With its horror-comedy genre and an ensemble that blends mainstream star power with strong comic and dramatic performers, Vvan has already carved out a distinct space in the year’s Hindi release slate.
Why Sidharth Malhotra And Tamannaah Bhatia Matter To This Launch
Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s presence gives the Comic Con unveiling immediate star pull, but it also does more than that. As the faces leading Vvan, they anchor the audience’s first real encounter with the film’s larger mythology in a live setting. Their appearance ensures that the launch is not just about a comic reveal, but about introducing the tone, scale and appeal of the film directly to fans.
With Ektaa R Kapoor representing the production side and Arunabh Kumar bringing the creative vision to the stage, the event has the ingredients of a full-spectrum showcase. For Vvan, May 9 now looks less like a standard appearance and more like the moment its public world truly opens up.
