About Ranabaali
Set in 19th-century India, Ranabaali is inspired by real-life events said to have occurred between 1854 and 1878 during British rule. The first glimpse suggests the film explores a dark chapter of colonial history, referencing large-scale violence, staggering economic plunder and human loss during that period.
In the film, Vijay plays a freedom fighter named Ranabaali, a character positioned as fierce and uncompromising in his rebellion. Rashmika will portray Jayamma, a pivotal role expected to anchor the emotional core of the story. Actor Arnold Vosloo is set to appear as the antagonist, Sir Theodore Hector.
Ranabaali is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar under the banner of Mythri Movie Makers, with T-Series presenting the film. It is set to release worldwide on September 11, 2026.
