After months of buzz, Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films has finally revealed Thama, the newest addition to their famous horror-comedy series. The movie will star Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal and is coming out on Diwali 2025. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, who also directed Munjya, Thama promises to bring another fresh take to Vijan’s horror-comedy collection.
The title announcement featured a snippet of a song sung by Arijit Singh, hinting at a “bloody” love story at the center of Thama, as described in the announcement post: “Dinesh Vijan’s Horror Comedy Universe needed a love story… unfortunately, it’s a bloody one.” With films like Stree, Stree 2, Bhediya, and Munjya already in the fold, Thama will add fresh characters to this supernatural multiverse.
Upcoming Releases and Expansions in the Horror-Comedy Universe
This film is expected to explore the addition of vampires to the horror-comedy universe, paving the way for future crossovers. Fans can expect a variety of supernatural beings, including chudails, wolves, headless spirits, and vampires, to come together in a shared cinematic space.
With Bhediya 2 and Stree 3 also in development, Maddock Films seems to be gradually building toward an expansive multiverse. Given the six-year gap between Stree and Stree 2, Stree 3 might not arrive for several years. This timeline gives Thama and Bhediya 2ample space to introduce new plotlines and establish connections within the universe.
