About Thama
Maddock Films shared the teaser on social media with the caption, “Na darr kabhi itna shaktishaali tha, aur na pyaar kabhi itna BLOODY! Brace yourself this Diwali to witness the first love story in the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe. Step into the World of Thama, a cinematic experience unlike anything you’ve seen before, storming into cinemas worldwide. #Thama Teaser Out Now!”
In a previous interview with Zoom, Thama’s director, Aditya Sarpotdar, said, “Thama is a love story. As you have seen all the other films in the Maddock Universe or the Stree World, this is very different and not a pure horror-comedy. It is a romantic comedy film with certain supernatural elements backing it. Vampire is a supernatural element; it is a love story between a human and a vampire. The larger genre is comedy, so it is fun and a love story through the lens of Maddock Universe. Stree, Bhediya and Munjya were front-footed horror that created that sense of fear. This is more of a romantic film. We felt enough horror comedies were delivered at Maddock, we wanted to deviate a bit but stay in the world by exploring other genres as well.”
He added, “Thama is wider. Munjya was more local because it was married to a folklorish character, and it came from the heartland of Konkan, where Munjya was known to be from. As Munjya was folklorish, Thama has mythical references. More than folklore, it draws references from mythical characters, and because of this, you will understand how things come together.”
Thama marks the first-ever love story in the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe. The film also stars Faisal Malik and Geeta Agrawal.
