Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s much-anticipated magnum opus Vrusshabha is set to release in theatres worldwide on December 25 this year, the makers announced on Friday.

Originally slated for release on October 16, the film was first postponed to November 6 and has now been rescheduled for Christmas Day.

Sharing the update on X (formerly Twitter), Mohanlal posted a video teaser offering a glimpse of an action sequence from the film. “Some stories are more than cinema, they're legacies. This Christmas, witness that legacy roar to life in Vrusshabha — a film that celebrates emotion, grandeur, and destiny. Releasing worldwide on December 25, 2025,” he wrote.

The teaser featured the tagline: “A king’s arrival is royal. The preparations must be grand. Prepare for the king Vrusshabha.”

Earlier, the film’s first-look poster — unveiled on Mohanlal’s birthday — had generated huge excitement among fans. The actor appeared as a fierce warrior king clad in golden-brown dragon-scale armor, with long hair, a thick beard, and a striking white tilak, exuding strength and regality.

“This one is special — dedicating it to all my fans. The wait ends. The storm awakens. With pride and power, I unveil the first look of Vrusshabha — a tale that will ignite your soul and echo through time,” Mohanlal had said when releasing the poster.

Written and directed by Nanda Kishore, Vrusshabha is presented by Connekkt Media in association with Balaji Telefilms. The epic drama has been shot simultaneously in Malayalam and Telugu and will release in five languages — Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada.

The film is jointly produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, CK Padma Kumar, Varun Mathur, Saurabh Mishra, Abhishek S Vyas, Vishal Gurnani, and Juhi Parekh Mehta.
