🔥 Movie Blurb (Catchy, Alluring)
Brace yourselves for “Thamma” — a blood-curdling, heart-pounding bloody love story this Diwali that’s drenched in myth, romance & the supernatural. When Alok Goyal’s ordinary life shatters under the weight of an ancient vampire curse, the line between love and doom blurs. With Tadaka by his side — mysterious, fierce, luminous — Alok must confront Yakshasan, the dread lord of darkness, while grappling with what it means to be half beast, half man.
This isn’t just another entry in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe — it’s its most romantic, most epic, most shiver-inducing chapter yet. Expect grand mythic landscapes, unbelievable powers, tragic family dynamics, and a love so fierce it might just tilt the cosmos. Will Alok embrace his vampiric fate, save his humanity, or lose everything?
Release Date: 21 October 2025 (Diwali) — mark your calendars. 🕯️🦇❤️

💰 Fees / Budget & Universe Connections (What We Don’t Know / What is Known)
- What is known: The film is produced by Maddock Films, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar; it is part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), which includes Stree, Bhediya, Munjya, etc. Wikipedia+1
- Connected characters/movies: Varun Dhawan’s Bhaskar/Bhediya appears in cameo, tying Thamma to Bhediya. Also, events from past MHCU films likely overlap or are referenced. Wikipedia+2Cinema Express+2
- Fees: As of now, there is no credible public information about how much each actor is being paid for Thamma. I couldn’t find confirmed reports of the actors’ fees.
- Budget: Similarly, no official budget figure has been publicly disclosed. But given its scale (VFX, big stars, crossover universe, high production values), it’s likely to be a large‐budget film in the Hindi market.
