Rashmika Mandanna Misses 'Thamma' Trailer, Excited for 'Cocktail 2' Role

On September 26, 2025, Rashmika Mandanna was unable to attend the trailer launch event for her upcoming horror comedy 'Thamma'. However, the actress shared a heartfelt video message expressing her enthusiasm for the film and her character Tadaka.

Rashmika revealed that she was occupied with the shoot for 'Cocktail 2' in Sicily, Italy, and could not be present at the launch. Despite her absence, the 'Pushpa' actress conveyed her excitement, stating that Tadaka is a "special and strong character" that she had the privilege of portraying on screen.

The 'Thamma' trailer, which was unveiled during the event, provided a glimpse into the film's intriguing plot. It introduces Nawazuddin Siddiqui's character Yakshasan, who is initially described as the protector of the world, but suddenly decides to turn rogue and become the 'Thamma' himself. The trailer also showcases a few romantic moments between Rashmika's Tadaka and Ayushmann Khurrana's character Alok.

The trailer then reveals that Alok undergoes a transformation, becoming a vampire with a missing heartbeat and fangs. This unexpected development sets him on a journey filled with unexpected challenges that come with his newfound identity.

'Thamma' is a Maddock horror comedy that is scheduled for a theatrical release on October 21, 2025, during the Diwali festival season.
