Mysticism Meets Faith: Tamannaah Bhatia Stars in 'Chhathi Maiya' Teaser from 'The One'

Expanding beyond its initial romantic reveals, the promotional campaign for the upcoming fantasy feature The One has stepped into its folklore-driven, spiritual core. The makers have unveiled a teaser for the track titled 'Chhathi Maiya', positioning lead actor Tamannaah Bhatia at the center of a visually rich sequence. The song integrates the ancient reverence of Chhath Puja with the film’s broader mythical universe, bringing a distinct devotional layer to the narrative.

Composed and rendered by Vishal Mishra with lyrics penned by Kaushal Kishore, 'Chhathi Maiya' combines traditional devotional themes with cinematic scale. The track features choreography by Chinni Prakash and prominently highlights both Tamannaah Bhatia and Shweta Tiwari within the visual sequence. Released under the Zee Music Label, the song serves as a bridge connecting the film's fantasy element—specifically the power of the forest deity—with real-world cultural traditions.

This latest glimpse marks a shift from the film's previously released romantic track, 'Samjho Na', which focused on the screen chemistry between Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia. By contrast, 'Chhathi Maiya' spotlights the world-building, mystery, and cultural roots that underpin the film's plot, offering audiences a broader look at the thematic range expected from the feature.

The One brings together creative forces from diverse storytelling backgrounds, uniting TVF’s Arunabh Kumar, director Deepak Mishra, and producer Ekta R. Kapoor. Designed as an adventurous family entertainer, the project weaves together elements of Indian folklore, fantasy, mystery, and humor. To establish its mythology prior to the theatrical launch, the creators previously introduced the narrative universe through 'The Legend of One' comic book series.

Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures in collaboration with TVF and 11.11 Productions, the film stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead roles. Written by Arunabh Kumar and directed by Deepak Mishra, the production features cinematography and visual direction by Manu Anand. The project is backed by producers Shobha Kapoor, Ekta R. Kapoor, Arunabh Kumar, and Niraj Kothari.

The One is scheduled for a nationwide theatrical release on September 25, 2026, promising a large-scale cinematic experience built on visual spectacle, folklore, and regional cultural themes.
