The makers released the much-talked-about Rise of Swayambhu video, confirming that the film’s extensive shoot has finally wrapped after an intense two-year marathon involving grand sets, massive crowd sequences and rigorous physical demands on the lead actor. Scheduled to release worldwide on Maha Shivaratri, February 13th, 2026, the film promises to bring India’s civilizational spirit to the big screen with emotional depth, heroic narrative and a visually immersive experience.
