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 vampire, the excitement just hit the roof! The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe is getting a twisted new addition, and this time it dives into Indian mythology and vampire folklore.
According to reports, Nawazuddin will join the crew in mid-May to shoot his transformation sequence and the film’s climax. Meanwhile, director Aditya Sarpotdar is busy filming steamy forest scenes between Ayushmann and Rashmika in the lush Nilgiris, with Ooty’s Doddabetta Peak serving as a dreamy backdrop.
Here’s the juicy twist: Thama unfolds across two timelines—Ayushmann plays a historian uncovering vampire origins, while the past timeline takes us to Vijayanagar, all tied to an eternal love story inspired by the immortal Ashwatthama legend. Chills already, right?
The vampire flick will wrap by May 25, with only two songs left to shoot before its grand Diwali 2025 release. So get ready for love bites, ancient curses, and blood-curdling fun this festive season!
