Rahu Ketu To Kalki 2, Fantasy Films To Look Out For In 2026

Indian cinema’s fantasy genre is undergoing a striking transformation, with filmmakers increasingly drawing from mythology, folklore, astrology, and imagined universes to craft visually immersive and emotionally resonant narratives. Backed by major production houses and visionary directors, 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for fantasy storytelling on the big screen. Here are five highly anticipated fantasy films expected to leave a lasting impact.

Fantasy Films To Look Out For In 2026

Kalki 2 – Vyjayanthi Movies

Following the unprecedented scale and global reception of Kalki, the Kalki franchise is set to expand further in 2026 under the direction of Nag Ashwin. Headlined by Prabhas, the film also stars Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan in pivotal roles. Produced by C. Aswani Dutt under the banner of Vyjayanthi Movies, Kalki reimagines the prophecy of Lord Vishnu’s final avatar in a dystopian future. It seamlessly blends ancient scriptures with cutting-edge technology and large-scale cinematic spectacle.

Rahu Ketu – Blive

Rahu Ketu is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language fantasy comedy written and directed by Vipul Vig. Produced by Umesh Kumar Bansal, Suraj Singh, and Varsha Kukreja under the banners of Zee Studios and BLive Productions, the film takes a lighter, entertaining approach to astrology and cosmic mythology. The ensemble cast includes Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Shalini Pandey, and Chunky Panday, bringing together humour, fantasy, and contemporary storytelling. Rooted in the mythological significance of the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu, the film is expected to explore themes of fate, destiny, and karmic twists through a comedic lens. This makes it one of the most distinctive and offbeat fantasy offerings slated for 2026.

Mahakali – PVCU

Expanding the cinematic universe that began with Hanu-Man, Mahakali is directed by Prasanth Varma and produced by Ranadheer Reddy under the banner of RKD Studios. The film introduces Bhoomi Shetty in the lead role, portraying the fierce and divine embodiment of Goddess Kali. Envisioned as a mythological superhero narrative, Mahakali blends spiritual symbolism with modern storytelling. It offers a powerful, female-centric fantasy spectacle rooted in Shakti mythology.
