About Thama
The plot of the film revolves around Alok (Ayushmann Khurrana), a historian who is on his journey to unearth the mythological roots of vampirism prevalent in Indian folklore. Rashmika Mandanna plays Tadaka, a ray of hope who traverses the path of embracing both chaos and love.
Nawazuddin plays the role of Yakshasan, aka "King of Darkness", while Paresh Rawal as Mr Ram Bajaj Goyal brings in the humorous streak in this bloody tale.
The film alternates between two timelines: one set in modern-day India, and the other in the ancient kingdom of Vijayanagar. Fans can expect a tale of horror mingled with unfulfilled love to take centre stage.
In A Nutshell
Thama is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, known for Munjya, and bankrolled by Dinesh Vijan. The film is set to release in theatres in Diwali 2026.
