The film follows Ayushmann's character, who turns into a vampire and falls for Rashmika's character, setting the stage for a "bloody love story" with plenty of twists.
Recently, Ayushmann Khurrana opened up about Thamma's success, calling it the “biggest opening” of his career.
Khurrana told ANI, "I am feeling good. Validation by the public is the biggest validation... For me, this is the biggest opening of my career and hopefully my biggest film as well."
Why Ayushmann Chose To Do Thamma
Ayushmann also revealed that what drew him to Thamma was the opportunity to break away from his signature 'guy-next-door' roles and explore something new.
Ayushmann said, "In this film, the generic character that I have played in my earlier films, which is a guy next door, transitions towards becoming a vampire or having superhero-like characteristics - I have done that for the first time. So, I was very excited about that because I am a big fan of this universe."
In addition to Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, audiences are also loving the performances of Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Yakshasan, Paresh Rawal as Ram Bajaj Goyal, Geeta Agarwal Sharma as Sudha Goyal, and Faisal Malik as Inspector PK Yadav.
