Get ready for a cinematic crossover of epic proportions this Independence Day 2025!
As the buzz for War 2 — starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR — reaches fever pitch, another big reveal is sneaking up alongside it: the official teaser for Thama, a spine-tingling horror comedy from Maddock Films.
Yes, you read that right. Dinesh Vijan is bringing back his wildly popular horror-comedy universe, and this time, it’s led by Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna in never-before-seen avatars.
Thama Teaser to premiere with War 2 this Independence Day, promising a powerful cinematic glimpse.
Thama Teaser: The Maddock Monsterverse Strikes Again
If sources are to be believed, the teaser of Thama is set to drop in theatres alongside War 2 this Independence Day weekend, giving fans a delicious double treat at the movies.
Post the pandemic, Dinesh Vijan quietly built a successful horror-comedy universe through genre-bending titles like Stree, Bhediya, and the recently released Munjya.
Each film added a new layer to this ever-expanding supernatural world. Now, with Thama, Maddock Films is ready to go bigger, bolder, and — quite literally — bloodier.
Why bloodier, you ask?
Because Thama dives head-first into the dark, eerie world of vampires, making it one of the first major vampire-led stories in mainstream Hindi cinema — and it’s got an A-list cast to boot.
Thama: A-List Cast. Fresh Genre. High Stakes.
Headlined by Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, Thama also stars powerhouse performers like Paresh Rawal and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in pivotal roles.
And if that wasn’t enough to raise your eyebrows, wait for this — Varun Dhawan returns as Bhediya in an extended cameo, hinting at some serious crossover action and deeper connections within the Maddock universe.
According to insiders, the teaser offers a solid taste of what’s to come — blending chills, laughs, and a whole new dimension of horror with Maddock’s signature tongue-in-cheek flavor.
Independence Day Weekend = Double Feature Fun
So why is the Thama teaser releasing with War 2? It’s a smart move.
War 2 is arguably one of the biggest tentpole releases of the year, featuring two action giants — Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR — clashing in a high-octane spectacle.
It’s a guaranteed crowd-puller, and Maddock Films wants in on that action.
A source close to the development reveals, “Dinesh Vijan has been in talks with exhibitors across India to attach the Thama teaser with War 2.
Most of them are on board because the pairing is exciting — action lovers will be introduced to something wildly different but equally thrilling.”
Not only does this maximize reach, but it also strategically builds hype for Thama’s Diwali 2025 release.
What’s the Teaser Going to Show?
Expect it to be much more than just a quick montage. Insiders claim that this teaser will “blow audiences away,” transporting them into a never-seen-before world within Indian cinema.
“Thama isn’t just another horror comedy,” says one source. “It’s got layers.
We’re talking vampire lore, comic beats, action, and a bit of madness — all wrapped in a stylized visual palette.”
The teaser will reportedly also be hard-attached to Param Sundari, another Maddock film slated to release shortly after War 2, ensuring that buzz continues well into September.
Werewolves vs. Vampires? Sign Us Up.
The teaser might also drop some hints about where this universe is headed.
Rumor has it that the Maddock team, led by director Aditya Sarpotdar, is gearing up for a Vampires vs. Werewolves showdown in future films.
With Varun’s Bhediya and Ayushmann’s mysterious vampire entering the same narrative space, the stage seems set for an Indian version of a supernatural cinematic universe.
Think Stree’s witch, Munjya’s cursed ghost, Bhediya’s forest lore, and now, Thama’s bloodthirsty vampires — all coming together in one shared realm.
Sounds like a dream (or nightmare?) waiting to unfold on the big screen.
Final Word: Save the Date
If you’re planning a cinema trip this Independence Day weekend, make sure to arrive early for the trailers.
You won’t want to miss the debut of Thama — a teaser that promises to shake things up in Hindi cinema’s genre game.
With Ayushmann and Rashmika leading the charge and Varun’s Bhediya sniffing around, Thama could very well be Maddock’s most ambitious chapter yet.
So mark your calendars. War 2 might bring the action, but Thama? It’s bringing the bite.
