Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead roles, is slated to release in theatres on October 21, 2025. Ahead of its release, the lead actors sat down for an exclusive interview, where they revealed the number of cameos set to appear in the film.
Speaking to Pinkvilla, Ayushmann Khurrana and Nawazuddin Siddiqui were asked about the cameos lined up for the film. In response, the Bala actor said, “Aapko kya lag raha hai, kaun aa sakta hai? Hum toh bata nahi sakte, humein allowed nahi hai.” (What do you think? Who could appear? We can’t say because we’re not allowed to.)
As he was pressed further, not on who might appear but how many cameos are in the film, Ayushmann chuckled and added, “Kitne cameos hain?! Teen se chaar cameos hain. Teen toh hain hì.” (How many cameos? There are three to four. Three for sure.)
When asked specifically if Stree (Shraddha Kapoor) would make an appearance in Thamma, both actors tactfully avoided answering, teasing that fans would find out soon enough.
About Thamma
Thamma is a romantic horror comedy, serving as the fifth installment in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU). The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui as co-leads, portraying vampires.
The story follows Alok Goyal, a young man who accidentally stumbles upon an imprisoned Yakshasan, leading to his transformation into a vampire. However, he soon realizes that his destiny is much more complex than expected, as he is forced to confront unforeseen consequences.
The narrative centers on Alok’s struggle with his transformation, while his father desperately tries to reverse the process, all while grappling with the sinister forces at play.
In addition to the lead trio, the film also features Paresh Rawal, Sathyaraj, Faisal Malik, Geeta Aggarwal, Rachit Singh, and more in pivotal roles. Moreover, Nora Fatehi and Malaika Arora make special appearances in two songs, respectively.
Directed by Munjya fame Aditya Sarpotdar, the film is written by Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew, and Arun Falara.
A Bloody Romance at the Core
Unlike Maddock’s earlier horror-comedies, Thammais positioned as the banner’s first love story in the spooky universe. The film promises a cocktail of horror, comedy, action, and romance—with a bloody twist. This genre-blending approach is being touted as a refreshing departure that could expand the universe’s emotional depth while still keeping its trademark entertainment intact.
Dinesh Vijan’s Vision and Spectacle
Driving the film is producer Dinesh Vijan, who has consistently built Maddock’s horror-comedy legacy brick by brick. Backed by a powerful background score and crafted for a grand festive release, Thamma is shaping up to be the banner’s most ambitious outing yet. With Vijan’s signature ability to balance scares and laughter, expectations are sky-high.
