Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are all set to headline the period action film Ranabaali, slated to release on October 16, 2026. Ahead of the movie’s release, the makers have unveiled a fiery teaser that explores the gritty and rustic world of the period film.
Ranabaali Teaser
In the 2-minute-and-32-second-long teaser, Ranabaali is introduced as a savage and feared figure who stands against the British forces. Set in the late 1800s, the gritty warrior, named Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali, is portrayed by Vijay Deverakonda in a new look.

In the teaser, Ranabaali introduces The Mummy actor Arnold Vosloo as the main antagonist, with his character portrayed as a ruthless oppressor. Moreover, the teaser also features Rashmika Mandanna in a blink-and-miss moment, with its cliffhanger ending hinting at something more to the legendary tale.
Initially, the film was supposed to release on September 11, 2026. However, it was later postponed to October 16. Following Rashmika Mandanna’s injury while filming Mysaa, it was reported that she would only be able to complete filming for Ranabaali later, resulting in the release being pushed from its original date.
