The much-anticipated trailer for Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s upcoming film, Thamma, has finally been released, and fans are buzzing with excitement. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the movie also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Paresh Rawal, and Sathyaraj. Thamma is part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), which includes popular films like Stree, Bhediya, Munjya, and Stree 2. The film is set to hit theaters on October 21, 2025.
One of the biggest talking points in the trailer is the unexpected cameo by Varun Dhawan as Bhediya.
