Ayushmann Khurrana on his role in Thamma

Talking about the film, Ayushmann Khurrana opened up about his character. In the film, he is said to play a journalist, Alok Goyal.

"Alok wants to know about ghosts and spirits. And he also makes reels about it. However, he is left confused after transforming into a 'Betaal'. He doesn't know what to do with his powers," he told news agency ANI.

“My character is neither 'Stree' nor 'Bhediya'. He is not even Munjya. He is 'Thama' or 'Betaal'. This is completely different. The film will take the legacy of Maddock's Horror Comedy Universe forward. It is also a perfect family entertainer. The horror has been presented in such a way that the kids can also digest it easily,” he added.

In the film, Siddiqui plays the prime antagonist.

Rashmika Mandanna will be seen as the on-screen love interest of Khurrana's character.

When will Thamma release?

Thamma will release in theatres on 21 October.
