Thama (2025): Ayushmann, Rashmika, Nawazuddin & Paresh Unite for Maddock’s Next Supernatural Saga 🌙🦇

The Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe just got bigger, louder, and deadlier. On August 19, 2025, fans will finally witness the first glimpse of Thama—the fifth chapter in the supernatural saga that began with Stree. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, the film releases this Diwali, October 17, 2025, promising a new kind of madness.

And this time, it’s not just horror. It’s not just comedy. It’s love, blood, and the supernatural colliding in ways we’ve never seen before.

🎬 The Big Reveal: A Villain to Redefine Fear

The teaser drops on August 19 (Independence Day Special), celebrating one year of Stree 2’s blockbuster run. With the tagline “The World of Thama”, the teaser introduces us to the sarvashaktishaali villain, a force darker and more dangerous than any ghost or creature the Maddock Universe has unleashed.

Director Aditya Sarpotdar has already teased that Thama won’t stick to the usual horror-comedy formula:

“It is a romantic film with certain supernatural elements backing it. The central theme is love, but wrapped in mystery and the unknown.”

🌟 The Stellar Cast

The ensemble is nothing short of spectacular:

• Ayushmann Khurrana – stepping into the supernatural space for the first time.

• Rashmika Mandanna – the heartbeat of this dark love story.

• Nawazuddin Siddiqui – whose intensity makes him perfect for an antagonist or twisted mentor role.

• Paresh Rawal – bringing a unique blend of gravitas and comedic timing.

• Varun Dhawan (Cameo) – reprising his role from Bhediya, tying Thama deeper into the Maddock Supernatural Universe.

🩸 A Vampire Romance With a Maddock Twist

Unlike Stree, Bhediya, or Munjya, Thama isn’t driven by scares. Instead, it leans into a vampire-driven love story—a romance where eternal life, temptation, and sacrifice blur the lines of humanity.

The creative team includes:

• Writers: Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew & Arun Falara

• Music: Sachin–Jigar

• Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya

Expect haunting melodies, sharp humor, and moments that will send shivers down your spine.

🏮 Diwali 2025: A Festival of Fear & Love

With Stree (2018) redefining Bollywood horror-comedy, Bhediya (2022) expanding the lore, Munjya (2024) surprising audiences, and Stree 2 (2024) smashing records, the Maddock Universe has become Bollywood’s most bankable supernatural franchise.

Now, Thama raises the stakes. It’s not just about horror anymore—it’s about romance drenched in blood, betrayal, and destiny.

As Nawazuddin’s character cryptically says in the teaser:“Pyaar amar hai… aur amar hone ki keemat khoon hai.”
