The buzz around Stree 2 has been monstrous, and it’s hard to miss—even if you haven’t been actively following it. With over Rs 500 crore in box office earnings, and its OTT premiere generating even more excitement, there’s plenty of conversation around the film. Naturally, the makers of the Stree-Verse, or the Maddock Horror Universe—whichever you prefer—are eager to capitalize on the momentum and make the most of it. 

For months, there have been numerous rumors about the franchise's future, with talk of sequels, prequels, and spin-offs. Apart from Stree 3, one of the most discussed future projects is a vampire film set to star Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. While nothing has been confirmed until now, the makers have officially announced the film, titled Thama.

Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna Officially Join the Stree-Verse

In a recent Instagram announcement from Maddock Productions and the film’s team, they confirmed Thama, a movie described as the Stree-Verse's first love story, featuring vampires at the center. Originally rumored to be titled Vampires of Vijaynagar, the film has been renamed Thama. While the meaning of the title is still unclear, it’s known that the film will be a love story.

Dinesh Vijan’s Thama adds a fresh dimension to Maddock’s horror-comedy universe, this time focusing on a love story—with a bloody twist. The film features a stellar cast, including Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Paresh Rawal, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and written by Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew, and Arun Fulara, Thama is produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik and is expected to be another hit for Maddock’s expanding franchise.

Interestingly, Munjya, another film in the Stree-Verse, is also directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, who will bring his vision to the vampire genre in Thama. The announcement teaser features a romantic ballad as it reveals the love story, then shifts to the eerie sound of bats emerging from a cave to unveil the title, Thama.

Thama is set to hit theaters on Diwali 2025. Stay tuned to Mobile Masala for more updates on this and everything else from the world of streaming and films.
