The spiritual song taps directly into the cultural core of the film, offering audiences a breathtaking new window into its rich folklore, fantasy, and romantic realm.

A Deeply Spiritual Connection to Chhathi Maiya

From intricately studying the significance of Chhath to developing a profound personal connection with Chhathi Maiya, the actress recently opened up about her moving spiritual journey.

“I have always held a deep reverence for Chhath Puja," Tamannaah shared. "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."  

Emphasizing the importance of the festival to the storyline, she added, "Chhath Puja is one of the most important factors of The Vvaan, and I wouldn't have wanted to experience the ritual in any other way.”
