As Thamma became the biggest opener of Ayushmann’s career, the actor thanked for Dinesh Vijan and his fans for their love.
“Having carved a niche with my unique, quirky films, I was eagerly waiting for that one opportunity to bring my brand of cinema on Diwali – a festival that has seen the biggest of the biggest superstars release their tentpole films in. Thamma is the tentpole film of my career and I’m fortunate to have got Diwali to release it. Every year, I used to go to theatres with my family to watch a superstar’s film release. Today, I have gone to theatres to watch my film with my family. It feels incredible!” he said in statement.
As Thamma is a part of the same universe as Stree and Bhediya, the movie has cameos from those films. Varun Dhawan reprised his role of Bhediya in Thamma and is seen in a cameo role. While speaking on Zoom, Thamma’s writer, Niren Bhatt, talked about how Bhediya has been included in the film.
“In Thamma, we have a huge werewolf. Now, whether it is Varun Dhawan or Kriti Sanon, we will get to know in the film. In Bhediya, we showed Bhaskar as a normal wolf. The version in Thamma is more muscular and bigger. How did that version form? We have answers in the film,” he said.
Meanwhile, Abhishek Banerjee was also seen as Jana again. He played the role in Stree, Stree 2 and Bhediya.
