The makers of director Rahul Sankrityan’s eagerly awaited period film, ‘Ranabaali’, featuring actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead, have now announced that their film will hit screens worldwide on October 16, 2026.
The film was earlier scheduled to hit screens on September 11 this year.
Ranabaali release date confirmed for October 16

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna reunite in period drama
‘Ranabaali’ 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 is being 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.
Sources claim ‘Ranabaali’ is inspired by real incidents from the 1850s that never found space in mainstream history books. They say it will be based on real incidents in the time period of 1850-1900 and that the film will look to showcase incidents that the British misrepresented in history.
Ranabaali explores a forgotten chapter of history
Sources have also pointed out that Ranabaali will not be a biopic, and not a textbook retelling but will be a cinematic reconstruction of an era built from multiple real accounts, oral histories, and suppressed records.
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s third film together
After ‘Geetha Govindam’ and ‘Dear Comrade’, ‘Ranabaali’ will be the third film in which Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda will be seen appearing together as a pair.
