Thamma trailer: Ayushmann and Rashmika spark outstanding chemistry in their vampire love story
The 2-minute and 54-second trailer promises an epic blend of horror, action, and romance, all balanced with the signature quirky comedic elements of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU). With major cameos from other characters in the MHCU, Thamma surely looks like a fun and thrilling watch.
Watch Thamma trailer here:
The trailer starts with a voice-over narration by Rashmika Mandanna, advising Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s character, Vethal, that he exists to protect humans. However, his lust for power and obsession with her character led to his imprisonment, until a fateful day when Ayushmann’s character, Alok, stumbles into his cave-prison.
What follows in the trailer is Alok’s transformation from human to vampire and his blossoming romance with Rashmika. As he grapples with the realities of his newfound powers, Alok must battle the evil forces rising around him, all while dealing with his father, who is desperate to cure him.
The trailer teases energetic dance numbers from Rashmika Mandanna and Nora Fatehi, along with a brief appearance of Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya. As a high point, the fun-filled glimpse ends with Sathyaraj reprising his role as Elvis Karim Prabhakar, the eccentric exorcist from Munjya.
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Thamma is written by Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew, and Arun Falara. The soundtrack of the movie is composed by Sachin–Jigar with Saurabh Goswami handling the visuals. The film is edited by Hemanti Sarkar.
