Ayushmann Khurrana reveals what drew him to the script of ‘Thamma’

MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana has revealed what drew him to the script of “Thamma.”

In an exclusive interview with IANS, the ‘Bala’ actor shared that it was a combination of the engaging story, the creative vision of the director, and the franchise’s proven success that convinced him to take on the role. Ayushmann expressed his excitement at being part of a film that promises a thrilling blend of horror and comedy. When asked what attracted him to the script, the actor shared, “I think there are multiple factors that drive an actor to do a film. It’s not just one thing. You look at the director, the producer, and of course, the story. Also, the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe is one of the most successful franchises in Hindi cinema. I’ve always been a fan of it.”

Khurrana added, “This is my second collaboration with Amar Kaushik after Bala, and my first time working with director Aditya Sarpotdar. I loved Munjya, and of course, Dinesh Vijan is one of the most successful producers in the country. So honestly, saying yes to Thama was a no-brainer. And the fact that it’s a Diwali release? Even better.”
