The much-awaited teaser of Thama, Maddock Films’ latest addition to its celebrated horror-comedy universe, finally dropped online, and the internet can’t seem to keep calm. Starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles, with Nawazuddin Siddiqui adding his signature edge, the supernatural drama promises a spine-tingling cocktail of love, fear, and fantasy.
From the very first frame, the teaser sets a different tone than what fans have seen in earlier installments like Stree and Bhediya. Unlike the quirky, ghostly narratives, Thama dives straight into the world of vampires, blending passion with danger in a way that Bollywood hasn’t experimented with in years. Ayushmann, stepping into an avatar unlike anything in his career so far, brings a mix of charm and intensity. Meanwhile, Rashmika radiates screen presence, perfectly balancing vulnerability and fiery determination.
But the real surprise package is Nawazuddin Siddiqui. His fleeting yet powerful appearance in the teaser has sent chills down viewers’ spines. With a sinister look and an aura that hints at a much larger role in the story, fans already believe he might be the “scene-stealer” of this supernatural saga.
Soon after the teaser went live, social media platforms were flooded with reactions. While many praised Maddock Films for pushing boundaries and bringing fresh concepts to the horror-comedy franchise, others compared it to Marvel-style crossovers, calling Thama the “boldest step yet.” A fan wrote, “This is not just horror or comedy, it’s Bollywood’s first big vampire romance done right!” Another user declared, “Nawazuddin’s look gave me goosebumps, I’m already sold.”
Adding to the hype, the film is scheduled for a grand Diwali 2025 release, which makes the anticipation even stronger. With festival-season buzz and a unique storyline, Thama has all the makings of a blockbuster that blends pop culture excitement with supernatural thrill.
With Ayushmann and Rashmika’s fresh pairing, Nawazuddin’s dark magic, and Maddock’s signature storytelling, Thama seems ready to redefine the horror-comedy universe. If the teaser is anything to go by, Bollywood audiences are in for a bloody good ride this Diwali.
