Maddock Films recently announced the next chapter in the horror comedy universe, Thama, a “bloody love story” starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna in pivotal roles.

As Ayushmann began shooting, he received a sweet note from producer Dinesh Vijan that said, “It’s fang-tastic to have you on board Maddock’s horror comedy universe. Who better than Ayushmann to play the ‘un-dead’ Thama? We believe this is a role you will love to sink your teeth into!”_

Thama promises to be a gripping love story, set against a bloody backdrop. Set to hit theaters on Diwali 2025, Thama brings together an impressive cast with Paresh Rawal and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Under the direction of Aditya Sarpotdar of Munjya fame, the film is written by Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew and Arun Fulara, and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik. Bhatt has penned or co-written most of the films in this universe.

2024 has been a great year for this universe. While Munjya remains the biggest hit of the first six months, Stree 2, so far, has been the biggest hit of 2024 among Hindi films.
