Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna's period drama 'Ranabaali' gets a worldwide release date of October 16, 2026.
The much-anticipated period drama 'Ranabaali', starring Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, is set to release in theatres worldwide on October 16, 2026. The announcement was made by the makers on social media, accompanied by a striking new poster of Vijay in a fierce period avatar.
Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, the film marks the reunion of Vijay and Rashmika, who previously shared screen space in hits like 'Geetha Govindam' and 'Dear Comrade'. The poster, shared on Instagram, shows Vijay in a raw, intense look, with the caption: "The darkest chapter of our history opens this October. #Ranabaali GRAND RELEASE WORLDWIDE ON 16.10.26."
Set against a historical backdrop, 'Ranabaali' revolves around the timeless battle between good and evil. The film is being planned as a grand theatrical release during the Dussehra festive period. It features music by the acclaimed duo Ajay-Atul and is backed by Mythri Movie Makers.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for this project, especially given the real-life chemistry between the lead pair, who tied the knot in Udaipur on February 26 this year. Rashmika was last seen in the Hindi film 'Cocktail 2', while Vijay's most recent release was the 2025 Telugu action-drama 'Kingdom'. 'Ranabaali' is expected to be one of the biggest releases of 2026.
