Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s Thamma Breaks Record; Becomes The Costliest Film In Horror-Comedy Universe
Mark your calendars, folks! Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna are making a return to your screens in the horror-comedy spectacle, Thamma. Scheduled for a theatrical release on October 21, 2025, this film promises to be more thrilling than your last family gathering—if your family is obsessed with horror films.
Thamma Sets the Financial Bar High
In what can only be described as an impressive feat of financial acrobatics, Thamma has set the record for being the most expensive horror-comedy in the history of Indian cinema. With a jaw-dropping budget of ₹125 crore, it aims to scare your wallet half to death and your senses even further. This makes it officially more expensive than your average house in a metropolitan city, which comes with its own set of screams.
Monstrous Budget: How Thamma Outspends Stree 2
If you thought Stree 2 was a budget beast at ₹125 crore, think again! Thamma takes a giant leap forward, surpassing its predecessor not just in budget but also in the audacity to spend. Who knew that ghosts and giggles required such hefty investments? The extra ₹20 crore for marketing can only mean one thing: expect vampires in your Instagram feed.
The Holy Grail of Visual Effects
Bollywood Hungama reports that the filmmakers have recruited top-notch international VFX studios, because evidently, a film about comedic frights isn’t “scary” enough without visuals that could eclipse a blockbuster sci-fi film. One can only imagine the dazzling graphics and perhaps a few ticks on the budget for some ghostly special effects that can rival those from the latest Marvel flick—because why not?
The A-List Factor: A Star-Studded Cast
Directed by none other than Aditya Sarpotdar, Thamma promises a constellation of stars, or at least about as many as a film can budget for. With the likes of Paresh Rawal, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and even Varun Dhawan popping in like an uninvited relative, this film is shaping up to be a ‘who’s who’ of the horror-comedy universe. They say ‘more is more,’ and this film is certainly taking that to the bank.
What to Expect: A Cinematic Rollercoaster
As we gear up for this blockbuster, the anticipation is thicker than the plot of a poorly written soap opera. With a budget that screams ‘money isn’t an object,’ and a mix of frights and laughs guaranteed to give you whiplash, Thamma may well redefine the horror-comedy genre. Expect a blend of jump scares and laugh-out-loud moments, which, when combined, are bound to confuse the heck out of your brain.
Final Thoughts: Are You Ready for Thamma?
So, will Thamma set new records for horror-comedy films, or will it simply haunt your wallet? Regardless, one thing is certain: this film is poised to provide a cinematic experience that will leave audiences both terrified and gasping for air—though hopefully not in the spirit world. It’s a bold new world of cinematic extravagance out there, and Thamma is ready to lead the charge. Buckle up, moviegoers!
