The countdown has officially begun for the highly-anticipated action entertainer, 'Seetha Payanam', as the film's producers, Shree Raam Films, have announced its worldwide theatrical release date: February 14, 2026, perfectly coinciding with Valentine's Day. The announcement, made on the New Year, has immediately captured the attention of cine-goers, promising a compelling cinematic journey that blends action, family drama, and romance.

A Family Affair: Arjun Sarja's Return to the Director's Chair

'Seetha Payanam' is notable for being the latest directorial venture of the multi-talented actor and filmmaker Arjun Sarja. The film is a project close to his heart, as it features his daughter, Aishwarya Arjun, in the central leading role. Arjun Sarja not only helms the direction but has also penned the story and screenplay, in addition to playing a significant character himself.

The narrative, whose teaser hints at an evolving relationship between the reserved protagonist Seetha (played by Aishwarya Arjun) and the cheerful Abhi (played by Niranjan Sudhindra), is set against the backdrop of a journey. This pairing marks the Telugu cinema debut for both Aishwarya Arjun and Niranjan, the latter being the nephew of Kannada star Upendra, making the film a fresh entry point for these rising stars in the Telugu and other South Indian industries.

Stellar Ensemble: A Multi-Generational Cast

The cast of 'Seetha Payanam' boasts an impressive line-up of veteran actors, lending significant weight and gravitas to the production. The film features the distinguished talents of Sathyaraj and Prakash Raj in pivotal supporting roles, suggesting a strong emotional and family-driven core to the story.

Adding to the star power is actor and director Arjun's nephew, Dhruva Sarja, who is set to appear in a special, surprise role. The cast also includes the popular comedian Kovai Sarala and actor Niranjan, ensuring the film has a blend of powerful dramatic performances and comedic elements. This robust ensemble cast across generations is expected to be a major draw for audiences.

A Multilingual Worldwide Release

In a strategic move to maximise its reach, the makers have confirmed that 'Seetha Payanam' will see a simultaneous worldwide release in multiple languages. The film will hit screens in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi, transforming it into a multilingual spectacle. This wide release strategy underscores the producers' confidence in the film's universal themes and commercial appeal, positioning it as a significant cinematic offering for the romantic holiday weekend.

With Arjun Sarja’s expertise both in front of and behind the camera, coupled with the fresh pairing of Aishwarya Arjun and Niranjan and the support of industry stalwarts, 'Seetha Payanam' is poised to be one of the most exciting Valentine’s Day releases of 2026.
