Tamannaah Bhatia has revealed that she spent time understanding the rituals and cultural significance of Chhath Puja before filming the Chhathi Maiya song for The Vvaan. The actress says the experience left her deeply connected to Chhathi Maiyya.
Tamannaah Bhatia is bringing a strong cultural and devotional element to her upcoming supernatural drama The Vvaan. The actress recently opened up about filming the movie’s Chhathi Maiya song, revealing that she approached the sequence by first learning about the traditions and significance of Chhath Puja.
Rather than treating the song as simply another performance sequence, Tamannaah said she wanted to understand the ritual before stepping in front of the camera. Her preparation included studying how Chhath Puja is observed in Bihar and Patna, where the festival holds deep cultural and spiritual significance.
The process, she said, gave her an unexpected personal connection with the devotional subject.

Speaking about her preparation, Tamannaah said she has always felt a deep sense of reverence towards Chhath Puja.
“I have always held a deep reverence for Chhath Puja. 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,” she said.
The actress added that learning about the festival made her realise the depth of faith associated with the tradition.
“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,” Tamannaah added.
Her comments indicate how seriously the makers have approached the devotional portions of the film. For Tamannaah, understanding the ritual was an important part of preparing for the sequence and connecting with the emotions behind it.
‘Chhath Puja is one of the most important factors of The Vvaan’
Chhath Puja appears to be closely woven into the world of The Vvaan. Tamannaah described the festival as one of the movie’s important elements and said she would not have wanted to experience the ritual in any other manner.
“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,” she said.
The inclusion of the festival also adds a distinct cultural layer to a story that otherwise explores supernatural and mythological themes.
Vishal Mishra voices the Chhathi Maiya song
The Chhathi Maiya song has been sung by Vishal Mishra and released under the Zee Music label.
The lyrics have been written by Kaushal Kishore, while acclaimed choreographer Chinni Prakash has handled the choreography.
The devotional track is expected to be an important part of the film’s narrative, particularly given the connection between its spiritual elements and the supernatural events teased in the film’s promotional material.
