Thamma marks the first-ever on-screen collaboration between Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. Ayushmann plays Alok Goyal, whose life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes a vampire, while Rashmika stars as Tadaka – the very one responsible for his transformation. As Alok navigates his new reality, he finds himself falling for Tadaka, setting the stage for a twisted love story.
Earlier, Ayushmann Khurrana spoke about how Thamma connected strongly with younger audiences.
"The best part of Thamma has been that it's been loved by kids. It's the first film of mine that has been loved by kids. I went to a screening recently and 40% of the crowd was Gen Alpha," he shared.
"Most of my films are slightly cerebral, meant for a more mature audience, with layers and subtext. This one's a simple, broad-stroke story. The VFX and special effects are designed for kids - it's very child-friendly. I'm glad I finally did something for them. It's my kids' favourite film by far," the actor added.
The film also features Paresh Rawal, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Faisal Malik, and Geeta Agarwal Sharma in pivotal roles. Thamma is the fifth instalment in Maddock's popular Horror-Comedy Universe (MHCU), following Stree, Stree 2, Bhediya and Munjya.
