Thamma: Final Preparations Underway for October 21 Release

As the release date of October 21, 2025, approaches, excitement is building for "Thamma," a thrilling action-drama directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. Starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, the film promises a mix of suspense, folklore, and high-stakes adventure set against a forested backdrop. Produced by Maddock Films, it's being touted as a fresh take on horror-thriller genres with cultural roots.

Recent updates from the set indicate that post-production is in full swing, with the team focusing on visual effects to enhance the supernatural elements. Shooting concluded in July after extensive location work in the dense jungles of Maharashtra, where the cast endured challenging conditions including rainy weather and wildlife encounters. Ayushmann, playing a determined explorer, underwent rigorous training for action sequences, while Rashmika's role as a mysterious local adds depth to the narrative.

Insiders reveal that a promotional tour kicks off next week, including city visits and fan interactions. The trailer, released last month, has garnered over 50 million views on YouTube, praising the eerie atmosphere and strong performances. Composer Amit Trivedi has delivered a haunting score that complements the story's twists.

"Thamma" draws inspiration from regional myths, exploring themes of tradition versus modernity. Director Sarpotdar, fresh off successes like "Munjya," aims to blend scares with emotional storytelling. The film's budget, reportedly around ₹80 crore, includes state-of-the-art CGI for mythical creatures.

Rashmika Mandanna expressed her enthusiasm: "This is unlike anything I've done; the shoot was intense but rewarding." Ayushmann added, "It's a story that resonates on multiple levels." With advance bookings opening soon, trade experts forecast a solid opening, potentially clashing with festive season crowds.

As marketing ramps up, including tie-ups with streaming platforms for post-theatrical release, "Thamma" is shaping up to be a must-watch for thriller enthusiasts.
