Ayushmann Khurrana, one of Bollywood’s most versatile and dependable actors, is gearing up for the biggest release of his career—Thama—which marks his first-ever Diwali release. Produced by Dinesh Vijan under the Maddock Films banner and directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Thama is all set to light up theatres this Diwali 2025. Adding more charm to this festive entertainer, Rashmika Mandanna will be seen alongside Ayushmann, making it the freshest on-screen pair of the year.
Known for choosing content-rich and socially relevant films, Ayushmann has carved a niche for himself as a bankable star despite being a complete outsider in the industry. With Thama, the actor steps into the much-coveted Diwali release window, traditionally dominated by superstar-led big screen spectacles.
Speaking about the milestone, Ayushmann shared,
“For me, Diwali is about togetherness, it is about family and it is about having the best community experience by spending time with your friends. I’m a big movie buff and every year, I have a ritual to go to the theatres with my family and watch a film on Diwali! We have so much fun together and it makes me so happy to see scores of people thronging to the theatres to watch these big releases.”
He added with excitement,
“So, it feels amazing to have a big Diwali release with Thama. It is the biggest release of my career and I’m really eager to spread joy, happiness and laughter with the entire country with this film. The fact that my film could be one of the reasons for people to have a great festive period feels really surreal.”
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, who has a knack for bringing fresh cinematic experiences to audiences, Thama promises to be a grand entertainer. Ayushmann praised his team’s commitment, saying,
“I’m giving my everything for Thama and I can see my producers Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, my director Aditya Sarpotdar, and the entire team put in every drop of their energy to make this film a truly incredible big screen experience that will be memorable for everyone.”
With Thama, Ayushmann aims not just to entertain but to become an integral part of the country’s festive celebrations. As the anticipation builds for its grand Diwali debut, one thing is certain—Thama is going to be one of the most talked-about films of 2025.
