After a two-year hiatus, Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana returns with Thamma, a fantasy horror film rooted in Indian folklore and mythology. In an exclusive interview, Khurrana discusses the role of AI in filmmaking, his character’s transformation, and what audiences can expect from this Diwali release.
Khurrana emphasizes that while AI can assist in various aspects of filmmaking, it cannot replace the emotional depth that human actors bring to their roles. He believes that the essence of cinema lies in its ability to connect with audiences on an emotional level, something that AI cannot replicate.
In Thamma, Khurrana portrays a character who undergoes a significant transformation, gaining supernatural powers. This role marks a departure from his previous performances, showcasing his versatility as an actor.
Thamma is set to release on October 20, 2025, in UAE cinemas. The film is part of Maddock Films’ growing horror-comedy universe and offers a unique blend of fantasy, horror, and romance. With its rich cultural backdrop and engaging storyline, Thamma aims to captivate audiences this festive season.
