In Thama, Ayushmann Khurrana makes his debut in a horror film, while Maddock Films continues their successful horror-comedy universe. The film, which incorporates a love story element, will debut in theatres around the Diwali holiday frame in 2025, signalling a departure for the universe.

Ayushmann Khurrana's excitement about joining Maddock Films' horror-comedy universe

After the success of Stree 2, which has become one of Bollywood's highest-grossing films, Khurrana expresses his excitement at Dinesh Vijan's belief that it is the perfect moment for her to join his horror-comedy world, both as Thama and in other roles. The actor told Variety that he is incredibly grateful to be a part of this universe's ongoing legacy, and he also has a strong sense of responsibility to provide audiences with an unforgettable theatrical experience.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Rashmika Mandanna, and Paresh Rawal are all part of the ensemble cast. Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, the film is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and written by Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew, and Arun Fulara.

Thama as the first love story in Maddock's horror-comedy universe

Khurrana, who previously collaborated with Vijan on Bala, sees Thama as an opportunity to explore new frontiers. He shares a profound affection for disrupting conventional norms with the producer. The actor can't wait for people to see their second collaboration, Thama, in theatres next Diwali since it's so innovative. All the praise and admiration that Vijan is getting is well-deserved because of the superb way he is creating the rhythms of this universe. With his vast intentions for expansion, Khurrana can only envision this universe continuing to flourish as a friend, partner, and fan of his work.

The actor stresses how Thama stands out in Maddock's horror-comedy canon. He adds that this is all the more exciting because the film is the first love story in the horror comedy universe. The promise of a "bloody" love story adds to the excitement of modern theatregoers seeking fresh and original experiences. Thama is a unique film in India, offering an unparalleled experience. Khurrana is incredibly excited to be a part of Vijan's film crew and work alongside outstanding creatives like Amar Kaushik, Aditya Sarpotdar (Thama director), and the brilliant Niren Bhatt on this monumental screen production.

Ayushmann Khurrana's commitment and passion for Thama

The film continues Maddock's streak of hit horror-comedy hybrids with Stree 2 and Munjya, further solidifying the studio's name. This is a major step forward for Khurrana's varied filmography. With a deep commitment to Thama, the actor is confident that he will pour his soul into it, hoping for universal love.
