AUGUST 19,2025

The much-anticipated teaser for Thamahas finally droppedmdashand it's nothing short of electrifying. Featuring powerhouse leads Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, this glimpse into the upcoming film is already sending chills through fans' spines.

The tone? A deliciously eerie blend of horror, mythology, and romancemdashprecise, gripping, and impossible to ignore.

What the Teaser Reveals

It doesn't dawdle. The teaser opens with a haunting exchange:

'Reh paogi mere bina, sau saalon tak?'
'Sau saal kya, ek pal ke liye bhi nahi?'

Those lines instantly zingmdashpacked with romantic intensity yet drenched in supernatural dread. Viewers sense this isn't just another love story it's a love that bleeds, drips, and maybe even bites.



A caption sets the mood: 'Wo kehte hai na darr kabhi itna shaktishaali tha, aur na pyaar kabhi itna BLOODY! This Diwali, prepare for a cinematic experience that is wild, deadly, and unforgettable. The World of Thama storms into cinemas worldwide this Diwali. But before that, don't forget to catch the teaser on the big screen during Param Sundari, on Aug 29. #ThamaThisDiwali.'

Why It Matters in Maddock's Horror-Comedy Universe

Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar (known for Munjya), Thama marks a fascinating pivot in the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe (MHCU).

Unlike its predecessors (Stree, Bhediya, Munjya, and Stree 2), this instalment centres on a romantic narrative with supernatural undertones. Vampires, myth, and romance weave together in a macabre dance.

The title 'Thama' hints at mythic depthmdashprobably inspired by Ashwatthama, the immortal warrior from the Mahabharatamdashsuggesting themes of vengeance, legacy, and power echoing across timelines.

Who's In the Cast?

• Ayushmann Khurrana as Alokmdasha historian who delves into the mythological roots of vampirism, torn between enlightenment and survival.

• Rashmika Mandanna as Tadaka (affectionately dubbed Tadka), a luminousmdashand perhaps dangerously seductivemdashvampire figure.

• Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Yakshasanmdashthe villain whose presence elevates the eerie stakes.

• Paresh Rawal as Ram Bajaj Goyalmdashhis role remains shrouded, but his first look alone has caused a stir.

• Varun Dhawan makes a cameo reprising his Bhediyapersona, hinting at a collision of werewolves and vampires across the shared universe.
