The excitement around Maddock Films’ horror-comedy universe has reached a new peak with the unveiling of the first character posters of Thama. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, the film is set to release this Diwali, promising a thrilling mix of horror, mystery, and quirky humor that has become the signature of this cinematic franchise.
Ayushmann Khurrana’s Dark and Intense Look in Thama
The first poster introduces Ayushmann Khurrana in a strikingly dark avatar. Dressed in black, with an intense gaze piercing through the frame, his character exudes both mystery and menace. Against a smoky blue background, Ayushmann’s look hints at a layered role. The poster immediately sets a suspenseful tone, raising curiosity about whether he plays a savior, a victim, or someone walking the thin line between both.
Rashmika Mandanna in a Fierce Avatar for Thama
Rashmika Mandanna’s poster has already become the talk of social media. Wearing forest-green attire and adorned with a traditional nose ring, she embodies raw strength and intensity. Her flowing hair and piercing expression suggest that her character is central to the story’s conflict. With flames glowing in the background and an ominous figure lurking behind, Rashmika’s look blends mythological undertones with modern ferocity—a stark contrast to her glamorous avatars in recent hits.
Paresh Rawal as the Bewildered Elder in Thama
Paresh Rawal’s poster brings in an unexpected twist. Dressed in a simple cardigan and shirt, his anxious expression against a smoky red-blue backdrop adds a touch of humor to the eerie narrative. Rawal’s character is likely to provide both comic relief and pivotal moments in the supernatural chaos of Thama.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Sinister Smile
Perhaps the most chilling of all, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s poster showcases him with an unsettling grin. Set against a green, temple-like background featuring a massive demonic face, Nawazuddin’s character radiates sheer wickedness. With his intense screen presence and enigmatic charm, the poster suggests he could be the film’s primary antagonist.
