Thama’ Teaser: Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s ‘bloody’ love story promises thrills; netizens predict the horror-comedy will be ‘epic’
Bollywood just got a fresh dose of intrigue with the teaser of Thama’, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. Dropped late last night, the clip has already sparked conversations across social media. Fans are calling it “bloody,” “quirky,” and “exactly the kind of madness Bollywood needs right now.”
The teaser sets the tone with Ayushmann stepping into a darker space than usual, blending his natural charm with shades of menace. Rashmika, on the other hand, looks like she’s hiding more than she’s showing. Together, they create an unsettling chemistry that feels equal parts romantic and dangerous.
What makes the teaser pop is its genre mix. It isn’t a straight-up love story. It isn’t pure horror either. Instead, it dips into horror-comedy territory, with flashes of gore, jump scares, and surprisingly, moments of dark humor. One scene in particular—where laughter cuts into a moment of blood-soaked chaos—has already gone viral.
Netizens React
Within hours of the release, Twitter (X) was flooded with reactions.

- “Ayushmann in a horror-comedy? That’s going to be epic,” one fan wrote.
- Another joked, “This is the most ‘bloody’ Valentine we’re about to get.”
- Several pointed out that the pairing of Ayushmann and Rashmika feels fresh, and that their dynamic could be the film’s biggest hook.
What to Expect
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar , Thama’ seems to push both its leads into uncharted territory. Ayushmann has often experimented with genres, but this marks one of his boldest roles yet. Rashmika, coming off her string of pan-India successes, looks like she’s ready to surprise audiences with a performance that’s not just about charm, but grit.
The teaser doesn’t give away the plot, but it leaves enough breadcrumbs to suggest a twisted love story with plenty of scares and laughs. If the execution matches the promise, Thama’ might carve out a new space in Bollywood’s growing horror-comedy lineup.
For now, the buzz is strong, the mood is bloody, and fans are counting down to the trailer.
