Actor Ayushmann Khurrana enters the horror-comedy universe of Maddock with a love story. His new film, titled Thaama, was announced on Wednesday, October 30. In the first-look video of the film, Ayushmann’s name was written in blood, with the sounds of screaming bats being heard in the background. The film will be directed by Aditya Sarpotdar of Munjya fame and written by Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew and Arun Phulara.

Thaama is considering a grand Diwali release next year. This film is a new entrant in the universe after the Stree, Stree 2, Munjya and Bhediya franchises. While other details about the film have been kept under wraps, the main casting has been revealed.

Along with Ayushmann, Rashmika Mandanna, Paresh Rawal and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are also in important roles in Thaama.
Ayushmann plays the role of a vampire in the film. The actor took to Instagram to tell his fans about his look, a day before the official announcement. He shared a photo of himself and used a vampire filter, in which his eyes were red and blood was falling from his mouth.

As reported pinkvilla First, Thama is expected to be set in two different time periods – the present-day North Indian city and the Vijayanagara Empire. Nawaz plays the main antagonist, a violent character from centuries past who seeks revenge in the present day.

Everything about the film sounds exciting on paper and there is a lot of buzz among fans about this new horror-comedy.
Meanwhile, Ayushmann has been away from films for quite some time, and is also keen to deliver a clean hit at the box office after a string of flops in recent times. Thaama could be a game changer for the actor.
