Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s upcoming horror-comedy Thama is already the talk of the town—and now, with Nawazuddin Siddiqui entering as a lamia, the excitement just hit the roof! The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe is getting a twisted very new improver, and this time it dives into Indian mythology and lamia folklore.
According to reports, Nawazuddin will join the crew in mid-May to shoot his transmutation succession and the film’s culmination. Meanwhile, director Aditya Sarpotdar is occupy filming steamy woods scenes ‘tween Ayushmann and Rashmika in the succulent Nilgiris, with Ooty’s Doddabetta Peak serving as a woolgathering backdrop.
Here’s the juicy wrench: Thama unfolds crosswise two timelines—Ayushmann plays a historiographer uncovering vampire origins, while the past timeline takes us to Vijayanagar, all tied to an eternal love story inspired by the immortal Ashwatthama fable. Chills already, right?
The vampire riffle will wrap by May 25, with only two songs left to shoot before its grand Diwali 2025 waiver. So get very ready for enjoy bites, quite ancient curses, and blood-curdling fun this festive flavour!
