Salman Khan praises Tamannaah Bhatia's voice on Bigg Boss 20
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Tamannaah Bhatia and Sidharth Malhotra visited the sets of Bigg Boss 20 on 21 September 2026 to promote their upcoming mytho-fantasy-thriller 'The Vvaan: Force Of The Forrest', and the outing quickly generated buzz after host Salman Khan offered an impromptu compliment to the actress. The moment has since been widely shared across social media.
The Moment That Went Viral
As Tamannaah spoke during the promotional segment, Salman turned to Sidharth and remarked, 'What a superb voice she's got yaar.' The compliment drew a visible blush from the 'Baahubali' actress, who thanked Salman for the kind words. Sidharth added his own observation, saying Tamannaah carries an 'Adaah' — a natural grace — in her voice.
About 'The Vvaan: Force Of The Forrest'
Directed by Deepak Mishra and written by Arunabh Kumar, 'The Vvaan' is rooted in folklore and fantasy, centring on a forbidden forest and its ominous secrets. The trailer was recently unveiled, generating anticipation for what the makers describe as a mythology-driven thriller. Beyond the two leads, the film features Shweta Tiwari, Sunil Grover, Anup Soni, and Maniesh Paul in supporting roles.
The project is backed by producers Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar, and Niraj Kothari, and is reportedly set for a theatrical release on 25 September.
Tamannaah's Emotional Connection With 'Chhathi Maiya'
Ahead of the film's release, the makers also dropped a devotional track titled 'Chhathi Maiya' from the film. Tamannaah said she invested considerable time researching the cultural and spiritual significance of Chhath Puja before shooting the number.
She said, 'I have always held a deep reverence for Chhath Puja. Before we started shooting for the song, I spent time studying and understanding the significance of the ritual and how it is performed in Bihar and Patna. Honestly, I was stunned to learn the power it holds. The strong connection I felt with Chhathi Maiyya is something I cannot put in words. I found myself feeling deeply connected to her.'
The 'F3' actress added that the spiritual preparation helped her honour the devotional track authentically rather than treat it as a performative exercise.
What To Watch For
With its release reportedly four days away, 'The Vvaan' carries the weight of being a genre experiment — mythology and fantasy-thriller are not a common commercial pairing in mainstream Hindi cinema. The film's performance at the box office could signal whether the format has wider audience appeal beyond its niche.
