  • Official posters introduced the characters: Ayushmann Khurrana as Alok (“insaaniyat ki aakhri umeed”), Rashmika Mandanna as Tadaka, Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Yakshasan (“andhere ka badshah”), and Paresh Rawal as Mr Ram Bajaj Goyal.
  • Thama is slated for a Diwali 2025 theatrical release and is promoted as a “bloody love story” within the studio’s supernatural slate.
