Thamma, the latest addition to Dinesh Vijan’s hit horror-comedy universe, is all set to light up theatres this Diwali. Starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, the film marks the franchise’s first-ever love story, bringing a fresh twist to its established blend of horror and humor. The much-anticipated trailer was unveiled today with the tagline, “Yeh Diwali… THAMMAke Wali,” promising a bloody, romantic ride unlike any other.
After the massive success of Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya, Thamma looks ready to take the horror-comedy genre to the next level. The trailer teases an emotional and eerie tale rooted in folklore — the story of a vampire’s unrequited love. Ayushmann Khurrana takes on the role of the vampire, entering the hauntingly beautiful world of Rashmika’s character. Adding to the intensity is Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who plays the menacing antagonist, bringing his signature gravitas to the screen.
The trailer was launched at a grand event in Mumbai attended by several stars, including Stree actress Shraddha Kapoor, sparking further fan excitement. Sharing the trailer, the makers wrote, “A forgotten legend from our folklore, #Thamma takes centre stage this Diwali.” Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik and directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Thamma is described as “a bloody love story” that blends romance, fear, and dark comedy.
