The Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe fans have something thrilling to celebrate this Diwali! The makers of Thama have finally dropped the teaser of their highly anticipated film, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. Promoted as a unique mix of romance, horror, and suspense, the teaser has already set social media buzzing with excitement.
A Glimpse of the Teaser
The teaser opens with Ayushmann Khurrana’s character, Alok, asking, “Will you be able to live without me for 100 years?” Rashmika Mandanna, portraying Tadaka, replies passionately, “Not even for a moment.” The initial moments hint at a tender love story, but soon the mood shifts dramatically. Flashes of sinister villains, spine-chilling screams, and intense action sequences show that Thama is far from a typical romance.
Fans are already speculating about the film’s dark, twisted world, and the teaser has left everyone eager for more. The trailer promises a cinematic experience filled with suspense, emotion, and plenty of thrills.
Star-Studded Cast
Besides the lead pair, Thama introduces several other important characters. Paresh Rawal and Faisal Malik are set to play key roles, while Malaika Arora makes a special cameo in a high-energy dance sequence that has already caught the audience’s attention.
The highlight, however, is Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who enters the teaser as Yakshasan – a villainous vampire with a chilling presence. His brief appearance already hints at a formidable antagonist, making fans even more excited to see the story unfold.
Characters That Stand Out
The makers have given intriguing titles to the main characters, adding depth to their personas. Ayushmann plays Alok – Insaaniyat ki aakhri umeed (The Final Hope for Humanity), while Rashmika is Tadaka – Roshni ki pehli kiran (The First Ray of Light). Nawazuddin’s Yakshasan is labeled as Andhere ka badshah (The King of Darkness), perfectly setting up a classic clash of light versus dark.
Such character descriptions create instant curiosity about how these roles will interact in a narrative that blends horror, comedy, and romance in a single storyline.
What Fans Are Saying
The teaser has already triggered a wave of excitement online. Many fans are expressing their thrill for seeing Ayushmann in a horror-romance, a genre relatively new for him. Comments range from praise for Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s villainous presence to admiration for Rashmika’s expressive performance. Malaika Arora’s cameo, though brief, has also been widely appreciated for adding a glamorous touch to the film.
One fan wrote, “I’m excited for Nawazuddin Siddiqui as a villain vampire.” Another said, “This Diwali is gonna be crazy! Ayushmann seems perfect for this genre.” Such reactions show the immense anticipation for Thama, hinting that it could be a blockbuster hit.
The Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe
Thama is the fourth installment in the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe, which started with Stree in 2018. This cinematic universe has already given audiences memorable films like Bhediya (2022), Munjya (2024), and Stree 2 (2024). Each film is known for combining laughter, horror, and intriguing storytelling, and Thama seems poised to continue this successful tradition.
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film promises to bring a fresh narrative while staying true to the universe’s signature blend of humor, thrill, and supernatural elements.

Thama is all set to hit cinemas on Diwali 2025.
