It is the fifth installment in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU). It\u2019s a special film for Ayushmann as it has become his career-best opener on Diwali. The actor recently hosted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Instagram, during which he answered his fans\u2019 questions and replied to their messages. One fan dubbed him the \u2018Captain America\u2019 of MHCU, to which Ayushmann politely responded that comparisons to Western superheroes are not necessary, as the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe is uniquely \u2018desi\u2019.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ayushmann Khurrana Reacts To Being Called Captain America Of MHCU<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">During the AMA session, one fan asked Ayushmann Khurrana: \u201cHow do you feel being the Captain America of MHCU?&#8221; The Thamma star replied, \u201cMat kar lala. Nahi chahiye hume bahar ki validation (Don\u2019t do this, we don\u2019t need the outside validation). No comparison, this is our desi universe. So Thamma is Thamma.&#8221; Meanwhile, another fan asked how he feels about Thamma performing so well. The actor replied, \u201cYaar neend achhi aa rahi hai. Matlab pehle bhi aati thi, par ab aur bhi aa rahi hai. Thamma is very special. Meri pehli badi film hai Diwali par aayi hai. Pehle main Diwali par sirf filmein dekhta tha, ab dikha raha hu. Ek Chandigarh ke launde ka sapna pura hua hai. (I\u2019m sleeping very well. I used to sleep well before too, but now even more. Thamma is very special. This is my first big film releasing on Diwali. Earlier, I only used to watch films on Diwali, now I\u2019m starring in one.

Marking his first release on Diwali, Ayushmann took to Instagram to post a heartfelt note, behind-the-scenes moments, and thank the team for making the film a memorable experience. \u201cEvery year, since I remember, I used to go to theatres with my family to watch a film on Diwali. When I was a kid, my parents took me to this magical place that transported me to a world that I had never imagined. Then, I used to take them and Tahira and my kids to watch a big Diwali movie. It is a tradition in my family. Today, I have taken them to theatres to watch my film \u2013 my first Diwali release!
