Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana is set to step into new territory as he joins Maddock Films' famous horror-comedy universe with his upcoming movie, Thama. Known for his bold choices and unique filmography, Ayushmann will take on the role of a vampire in Thama, adding a supernatural twist to his career. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Amar Kaushik, the film is a key addition to Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films universe, which has thrilled audiences with hits like Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya.

Ayushmann Teams Up with Dinesh Vijan Again

This collaboration marks Ayushmann's second film with Dinesh Vijan after their successful 2019 comedy Bala. Reflecting on his return to the Maddock Films family, Ayushmann shared his excitement, saying, 'Dinesh and I have a similar passion for disruption. Our film Bala was a project that made people jump up from their seats and laud it for being really fresh. Thama is our second collaboration, and it is so new that I can't wait for the reaction of people when they see it in theatres.'

Ayushmann emphasised that he and Dinesh are both drawn to projects that 'shatter the mould' and offer audiences something completely new. He described Thama as a 'wildcard' project that's unlike anything seen before in Indian cinema, sharing that he's eager to create a memorable big-screen experience alongside Dinesh and his creative team.

Ayushmann is joining an impressive lineup in Maddock's supernatural world, which has a track record of successful horror-comedies. Films like Stree, Munjya, Bhediya, and Roohi have captivated audiences by blending humour and horror, and Thama aims to expand this universe with new characters and an engaging storyline.

With a star-studded cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Paresh Rawal, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Thama is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of next year, with a planned Diwali debut.
