Thamma Storyline, Plot
Expanding the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), Themma is a supernatural horror-comedy based in a mythological world. The film centers on humanity’s last hope Alok (Ayushmann) and Taadka (Rashmika), a mysterious creature exploring a region shrouded in darkness, while Yakshasan (Nawazuddin), a powerful ruler of darkness, threatens to put the world at risk. The film, a blend of horror, romance and comedy, received a lot of love and appreciation from the audience during its theatrical run. Part of the interconnected universe of the MHCU, Thema also features cameo appearances and narrative links to other franchises, including Stree 1 and 2, Munjya and Bhediya, which enrich the overarching story and hint at future crossovers.
Rashmika Mandanna shared, “Working on a supernatural comedy like Thamma was the first time for me, and it was truly an amazing experience. The story, my character, the scale – everything about it felt absolutely right, making it an entertaining film not only for the audience but for me as well. I’m thrilled that this film will now reach even more people around the world when it streams on Prime Video.”
Nawazuddin Siddiqui further added, “The character of Yakshasan in Thamma immediately caught my attention because it was different from anything I have ever done before. It’s one thing to read about mythological creatures like vampires, but portraying them on screen was an experience I can’t put into words. The film has received a great response so far, and now I’m looking forward to seeing how people connect with it once it starts streaming on Prime Video.”
