VD14 transforms into Ranabaali, with Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna reuniting under director Rahul Sankrityan for Mythri Movie Makers' grandest period spectacle, announced on Republic Day with a stunning glimpse and worldwide release date of September 11, 2026. Produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar, T-Series presents this pan-India action drama rooted in 1850s-1900s suppressed history.
Gripping Historical Glimpse
The teaser exposes British colonial atrocities – genocide eclipsing the Holocaust, economic plunder, and deliberate drought creation under figures like Sir Richard Temple. Vijay Deverakonda commands as the legendary Ranabaali from the "Cursed Land," showcasing fierce transformation, while Rashmika Mandanna embodies Jayamma. Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy) plays menacing villain Sir Theodore Hector. Iconic visuals like Vijay dragging a British officer behind his horse ignite massive buzz.
Real History Reimagined
Not a biopic but a cinematic reconstruction from oral histories and hidden records, Ranabaali spotlights maligned "savages and rebels" during 1854-1878 British rule. This marks Vijay's third Mythri collaboration post-Dear Comrade, his second with Rahul Sankrityan after Taxiwaala, and Rashmika's third pairing with him after Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade.
Lavish Pan-India Saga
Mounted on unprecedented scale, Ranabaali promises emotional resonance and raw vengeance, redefining historical epics for modern audiences on September 11.
