The Maddock Horror Comedy Cinematic Universe has emerged as a major success, with its last film, Stree 2, earning over Rs. 500 crores at the box office in 2024. This success has fueled tremendous excitement for the universe's next offering, Thama.
Thama, set to release on Diwali 2025, boasts an impressive cast, including Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal. The film is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, who previously helmed the surprise hit Munjya in 2024. Notably, Varun Dhawan will reprise his role as Bhediya, the werewolf, in this upcoming installment.
According to sources, Varun Dhawan's role in Thama is more substantial than his appearance in Stree 2. He shot for as many as 6 days, indicating his crucial involvement in the narrative. The film will feature a thrilling werewolf vs vampire battle, a classic trope that producer Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films has brought to life in a grand, visually spectacular manner.
Thama is expected to provide a glimpse into the upcoming Bhediya 2, which is currently scheduled for release on August 14, 2026, though the date may be pushed due to delays. Additionally, the Maddock Horror Comedy Cinematic Universe has other films in the pipeline, including Shakti Shalini and Chamunda, slated for release in late 2025 and 2026, respectively.
