First Posters of Ayushmann Khurrana's 'Thama' Revealed

The thriller-romantic comedy Thama has just taken a major step forward, with Maddock Films unveiling its first character posters ahead of the film’s teaser release.

The highly anticipated new installment in the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe drops its first visual treats, offering fans a haunting preview of what's to come.

Ayushmann Khurrana appears as Alok, a brooding vampire introduced as "Insaaniyat ki aakhri umeed" (humanity’s last hope), blending intensity and mystery in one frame.

Opposing him visually and thematically, Rashmika Mandanna is presented as Tadaka, "Roshni ki ek hi pehli kiran" (the first ray of light), emanating brightness and strength in a strikingly medieval avatar.

In a chilling departure, Nawazuddin Siddiqui transforms into Yakshasan, titled the "Andhere ka Badshah" (king of darkness), complete with long, bat-like hair and a sinister presence, concretizing his role as the story’s shadowy antagonist.

Bringing a touch of sardonic levity, Paresh Rawal takes on Mr. Ram Bajaj Goyal, a character perpetually seeking tragedy even in comedy, adding a nuanced, dry humor to the ensemble.

This announcement arrives just before The World of Thama teaser is set to be unveiled on August 19 at 11:11 a.m. (Indian time), building even more suspense. The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2025 release, offering fans a “bloody love story” promised to redefine the genre with a unique blend of horror, romance, and comedy.

As the next entry in the celebrated Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe, which includes hits like Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya, Thama positions itself as a bold addition, melding vampire mythology, romance, and dark humor in a way that promises fresh thrills and emotional depth.

With its captivating poster campaign, star-studded cast, and looming teaser drop, Thama is fast becoming one of Bollywood’s most intriguing upcoming releases—one that fans can’t afford to miss this Diwali.
