Overview

• Thamma, starring Rashmika Mandanna and Ayushmann Khurrana, opens in theaters on October 21 during the Diwali holiday.
• The film is produced by Maddock Films and positioned within the studio’s Maddock Horror Comedy Universe as a vampire-tinged blend of romance and humor.
• With less than 10 days to go, promotion remains limited to social media posts and song releases, with no city tours, TV appearances or joint interviews reported.
• Outlets note that apart from a September trailer launch—which Mandanna did not attend—no pre-release events have been held.
• Coverage suggests the muted rollout may mirror YRF’s Saiyaara strategy, with fan concern and trade chatter about whether Mandanna can land another 20-crore-plus opening.
