Ayushmann’s “Biggest Film Ever”
Ayushmann Khurrana, celebrated for his unconventional choices and box-office appeal, described Thamma with palpable excitement, “This is going to be my biggest opener and biggest film. Thamma is a film I’ve always wanted to do. I wanted to do a fantastical film. The VFX, the action, the Betaal story – it’s a new love chapter added to the horror comedy universe.”
For Ayushmann, partnering with Maddock Films felt like a dream come true, giving him the creative freedom to explore a genre mashup on a scale he’s never attempted before.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, a master of suspense himself, keeps his cards close to his chest. The internet has already taken notice of his striking look in the film, but he doesn’t want to spoil too much, “My character’s name is Yaksha.” Pressed for more, Nawazuddin simply smiles, choosing instead to let fan theories and excitement build until release day.
Joining the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe
The significance of Thamma goes far beyond just another horror-comedy. By pairing Ayushmann and Nawazuddin, two of India’s most versatile actors, Maddock Films signals its intent to raise the stakes for the entire franchise. The two discussed what this means for both their careers and the growing universe of interconnected stories, “We’ve been working on Thamma for the past four-five years,” Ayushmann revealed. “Because of the success of Stree 2 and Munjya, this has become the most exciting.”
With industry eyes keenly watching, expectations for Thamma are sky-high. As Maddock’s first true “event” film with both horror and heart, Diwali 2025 is set to bring crowds to theatres for an experience that promises to blend community viewing and family-friendly entertainment with genre-bending surprises.
