The makers have revealed an exciting glimpse from \u201cVD 14\u201d, which stars Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles and is being directed by Rahul Sankrityan under the prestigious banner of Mythri Movie Makers. Today, on the occasion of Republic Day, makers announced the film’s title along with the release date. Ranabali releasing worldwide on September 11th, 2026.<\/p>\n
Before introducing the \u201cCursed Land\u201d and its legendary hero, makers showcase the Britishers rule on India through intense visuals and a powerful narrative. Rahul Sankrityan\u2019s narration sheds light on the suffering inflicted by the British, especially in regions deliberately turned into drought zones under officials like Sir Richard Temple.<\/p>\n
The glimpse talks about a genocide worse than Hitler\u2019s Holocaust and the massive economic exploitation of India, revelations that are bound to strike an emotional chord with audiences. Vijay Deverakonda essays the role of Ranabaali, delivering a fierce and commanding presence, in a new look with a stunning transformation.<\/p>\n
Rashmika Mandanna plays as Jayamma. Arnold Vosloo, best known for The Mummy, plays the antagonist Sir Theodore Hector. One standout moment showing Vijay riding a horse while dragging a British officer along railway tracks has greatly amplified the film\u2019s buzz.<\/p>\n
\u201cRanabali\u201d is being produced on a grand scale by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar, with T-Series presenting the film. The movie is set against a British-era backdrop and will be made as a period action drama. Set in the 19th century, the film is based on real historical events that took place between 1854 and 1878, and is being mounted as a massive pan-India project.<\/p>\n
Ranabali is inspired by real incidents from the 1850s that never found space in mainstream history books. Based on Real incidents in the time period of 1850-1900, incidents the British strategically misrepresented in History and characters they maligned as Savages and Rebels. This is not a biopic, and not a textbook retelling. Ranabali is a cinematic reconstruction of an era built from multiple real accounts, oral histories, and suppressed records.<\/p>\n
After successful films like Dear Comrade and Kushi, this marks the third collaboration between Vijay Deverakonda and Mythri Movie Makers. Following the super hit Taxiwaala, Vijay Deverakonda and Rahul Sankrityan are once again teaming up for this film. After Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, \u201cRanabali\u201d will be the third film in which Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda appear together as a pair.<\/p>\n
