Thama Teaser: Nawazuddin and Malaika steal the show, but Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna love their vampire romance

Fans were curious to learn more when it was revealed that Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna would be seen swooning in the vampire romance Thama. The other classics in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, such as Stree (2018), Bhediya (2022), and Stree 2 (2024), are largely responsible for the enthusiasm around this movie. The makers have now released the teaser, a quick glance at the World of Thama, following yesterday’s release of the first look posters featuring Rashmika, Ayushmann, and their co-star Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Thama, which was directed by Aditya Sarpotdar of Munjya, appears to be “bloody” good so far.

Thankfully, the teaser of Thama gives us a good look at the characters instead of a blink and miss glimpse. The one minute forty nine seconds long clip truly teases! It begins with Ayushmann Khurrana asking, “Reh paaogi mere bina, 100 saal tak?” It is refreshing to hear the actor’s voice after so long! This is followed by Rashmika Mandanna’s emotional, romantic response, “100 saal kya, ek pal ke liye bhi nahi.” We are then introduced to Rashmika, bending down as if to pounce, standing in the middle of a jungle.

Ayushmann, who is leaning on a tree and has bruises all over his face, meets her focused look. A grizzly bear attacks him later in the teaser, which is followed by dance scenes starring Rashmika and Ayushmann and a preview of Malaika Arora’s seductive item number. Her appearance is too good to be real!

The most entertaining sequence, however, occurs near the conclusion when we meet the king of evil, Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He is peering down at his victim while perched atop what appears to be a pillar of an ancient haveli. Nawazuddin takes the show with a single exchange of words! We wish we could have seen him more often. This preview for the upcoming vampire romance has left netizens utterly pleased.

Lauding Thama, one netizen wrote, “This actually looks good. Rashmika ayushman and nawaz all fit perfectly, I m actually interested in how they will connect this story to stree verse, the Only universe worth existing now…,” whereas another fan gushed, “Last time i saw an Indian playing a vampire – it was Vivian Dsena as Abhay Raichand in Pyar ki ye ek Kahani on Star One. I enjoyed that a lot. Love the concept so seated for this film as well.” Another comment read, “Good cast, good music, surprisingly good visuals. Another blockbuster for maddock. Also this has a solo release, no clash. Maddock is on a golden streak,” while a fan shared, “Vampires & possible love story?! I’m in!”
