Bollywood audiences are in for a unique treat with Thama<\/em>, an upcoming horror-comedy that merges romance and the supernatural. Produced by Maddock Films<\/a> under Dinesh Vijan\u2019s vision, Thama<\/em> unites the formidable Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna for the first time, supported by stalwarts Paresh Rawal and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Directed by Aditya Satpodar and set for a Diwali 2025 release, this vampire love story is the latest addition to Maddock Films\u2019 horror-comedy universe, promising a twist-filled journey unlike any in Indian cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The casting of Thama<\/em> has sparked much enthusiasm, as it marks the first collaboration between Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. Known for his experimental roles, Ayushmann\u2019s foray into the vampire genre with Thama<\/em> signifies yet another bold choice, while Rashmika brings her charm and versatility to an entirely new setting. According to sources close to the production, both actors have complex and surprising arcs that will add unexpected layers to the storyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thama<\/em> is the latest addition to Dinesh Vijan\u2019s horror-comedy universe, which has previously delivered hits like Stree<\/em> and Bhediya<\/em>. The decision to focus on a vampire love story brings a fresh twist to this established genre, allowing Vijan to explore new narratives within his spooky comedic world. The universe\u2019s established success is likely to draw audiences who have come to anticipate humor-infused horror from Vijan\u2019s productions, but Thama<\/em> introduces a more intense, blood-laden romance, hinting at a darker yet still humorous storyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The film\u2019s unique concept transports audiences into a world where love and horror intersect within the eerie backdrop of vampires. Thama<\/em> was initially titled Vampires of Vijay Nagar<\/em>, reflecting its rooted Indian setting. According to the Stree 2<\/em> director Amar Kaushik, who is also associated with this project, the title change to Thama<\/em> captures the essence of the story\u2019s mysterious and bloody appeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kaushik, along with director Aditya Satpodar, aims to weave a narrative that combines the fearsome allure of vampires with the relatable, often humorous elements of Indian culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The official announcement of Thama<\/em> came on October 30, 2024, via a coordinated social media post from Ayushmann, Rashmika, and Dinesh Vijan. The video announcement provided fans a glimpse into the eerie atmosphere of Thama<\/em> and introduced the main cast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
