Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna's 'Thama' Teaser Is Ready; Release Date Re-confirmed

Mumbai, August 15 - Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films' next horror-comedy film is Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's Thama. The movie, directed by Munjya fame Aditya Sarpotdar, was announced last for a grand Diwali 2025 release in cinemas worldwide.

The shoot of Thama has been completed, and the post-production is going full swing. The fans of Maddock's horror-comedy universe have been waiting for the first look teaser of the film, and the makers provided good news.



On Friday (August 15), Maddock took to Twitter/X and announced that the first look teaser of Thama will be released on August 19. The pre-look teaser, in the voice of Nawazuddin Siddiqui, teases that Thama is the most powerful in the horror-comedy universe.

The teaser of the movie was supposed to be released earlier this year, but was delayed for some reason. It is said that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed 47 seconds of a teaser of Thama with a U certificate in February this year.

Thama, which also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Paresh Rawal, was earlier supposed to be titled Vampires of Vijay Nagar. In the movie, a well-known and determined historian examines ancient manuscripts for clues to the mysterious vampire legends of Vijay Nagar.



Apart from the lead cast, the film is expected to feature multiple cameos from the recent movies in Maddock's horror-comedy universe. The makers have also re-confirmed that Thama will be released on Diwali this year.

A film which has the potential to stun everyone at the box office this Diwali. 💥💥
