A Glimpse Into a Bloody Folklore

The 2-minute-54-second trailer takes viewers straight into a vampire’s lair, where Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s terrifying Yakshasan has been imprisoned for years. His freedom is accidentally triggered by Ayushmann’s character, Alok, who soon begins to show eerie changes - sprouting fangs, gaining a steel-like body, and grappling with his dark destiny.

Rashmika Mandanna appears as Tadaka, a fellow vampire whose bond with Alok ignites both passion and conflict. Their relationship struggles under the weight of two worlds colliding, raising the stakes far beyond love.

The trailer hints at an intense showdown between Alok and Yakshasan, with Paresh Rawal stepping in as Ram Bajaj Goyal, adding another layer to the gripping folklore-inspired narrative.

Romance Meets Horror With a Comic Twist

Like Stree, Bhediya, Munjya, and Stree 2, Thamma carries the Maddock stamp of horror blended with humor. But this time, the makers raise the bar with a story that leans heavily on romantic tension wrapped in gothic chills. The mix of jump scares, witty one-liners, and supernatural visuals sets the stage for what could be a genre-defining installment.

For Ayushmann Khurrana, this marks his first dive into the horror space, and his intense transformation hints at a performance full of surprises. Rashmika, too, seems ready to charm and haunt in equal measure.
