Tomorrow at 11 am!” the actor wrote as the caption. “Tomorrow at 11 a.m.” with the word “bloody” underlined in red.The identical statement was also shared on Rashmika Mandanna’s story.

The movie Thamba is expected to be officially announced tomorrow, October 30, one day before Halloween 2024. This is undoubtedly the ideal moment to reveal this scary comedy.

In an exclusive revelation published in June, Pinkvilla reported that Dinesh Vijan would be working with his Munjya director, Aditya Sarpotdar, again on a vampire-themed movie.

A source close to the development stated, “It will mark the first collaboration of Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. Both the actors have a very unique arc in the film, which will take the audiences by surprise. The script is presently in the writing stage and will soon get into the pre-production stage.”

Amar Kaushik, the director of Stree 2, who is also producing the vampire movie, revealed the title as Thamba in an interview with India Today.

The source added, “Thamba is set in two periods—in a north Indian city in the present day and in the Vijaynagara Empire of the ancient past. Nawazuddin’s antagonist has been imagined as an eccentric yet violent character who lived centuries ago.” It further mentioned that the character will travel to the present to take revenge.
