The film is currently in the post-production phase. Varun Dhawan will appear in a cameo appearance, reprising his role from Bhediya as reported in March 2025. Aditya Sarpotdar confirmed that Thama is not a horror-comedy unlike other films of Maddock Supernatural Universe. "It is a romantic film with certain supernatural elements backing it," the director confirmed in an interview with Zoom. He insisted that the movie is mainly comedy with romance being the central theme. The director also shared that it was a decision taken since the Maddock Supernatural Universe has delivered enough horror-comedies in the recent past (Stree, Bhediya and Munjya). The teaser of the film released on 19 August. #thama #stree #stree2 #horrorcomedy #vampire #vampirediaries #vampires #draculacastle #dracula #horrorstories #horror #maddockuniverse #thama #ayushmannkhurrana #nawazuddinsiddiqui
