Thama Teaser Out:
The teaser opens with glimpses of Ayushmann and Rashmika’s chemistry, portraying them as lovers destined to be together. The visuals set the stage for what appears to be a moving tale of passion. But entry of Nawazuddin Siddiqui change everything. The video will keep you hooked up till end.
Ayushmann Khurrana plays Alok in the film. His character description reads, “Insaaniyat ki aakhri umeed (the last ray of hope)”. The shade of his character is kept a secret from the audience. Rashmika Mandanna steps into the role of Tadaka, described as “Roshni ki ek hi pehli kiran” (the very first ray of light). Her character promises to be the spark of hope in a universe that is set to embrace both love and chaos. On the other end of the spectrum, Nawazuddin Siddiqui transforms into Yakshasan, hailed as the “Andhere ka Badshah” (King of Darkness). True to his reputation, Nawazuddin is expected to bring intensity and depth to a menacing character who defines the darker shades of the story. Veteran actor Paresh Rawal takes on the role of Mr Ram Bajaj Goyal, a man “jo humesha comedy mein tragedy dhoondhte hain” (who always finds tragedy in comedy). His presence is set to balance the film with layers of humour amidst the bloody saga.
Ayushmann and Rashmika on Thama
Thama has been a challenge for Rashmika Mandanna. While talking about the film, the Pushpa star told The Nog Magazine, “Oh my God! Thama. For Thama, we really, really put in the work. Till then, I thought, okay, I’ve been through it. I’ve seen it all. I’m 24–25 films down. What else can there be? And then Thama comes and you’re like, ‘Oops, I wasn’t ready for that.’ I feel that is going to change people’s perspective of me in a way.”
