MUMBAI: Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana is a rank outsider who has slowly cemented himself as one of the most bankable actors in Hindi cinema with sheer talent and his impeccable instinct of choosing the best scripts. Ayushmann is set to have a huge 2025 as he gears up for the first big Diwali release of his career, Thama, produced by Dinesh Vijan (Maddock Films).
The big Diwali festive release window for films has traditionally been reserved for larger-than-life big screen entertainers with the biggest of the stars booking these windows out for their massive releases. Ayushmann is thrilled to have his first Diwali film as it marks a major milestone moment in his glittering career.
Ayushmann says, “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 adds, “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 Thama. The fact that my film could be one of the reasons for people to have a great festive period feels really surreal.”
Ayushmann says the entire team of Thama is giving their best every single day to deliver a massive big screen experience to people.
He says, “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 of Thama put in every drop of their energy to make this film a truly incredible big screen experience that will be memorable for everyone.”
Thama will see Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna team up for the first time, making it the freshest on-screen pairing of 2025.
