Maddock Films, the banner behind Bollywood’s popular horror-comedy franchise, has unveiled the first glimpse of its upcoming movie Thama. “Brace yourself this Diwali to witness the first love story in Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe,” wrote the makers on social media with the teaser.

The video comes a day after the first looks from Thama were released. The teaser and posters of the movie hint at a “bloody love story.” On Monday, the makers dropped a string of posters of the lead actors, including Ayushmann Khurrana, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Rashmika Mandanna.

They wrote, “Presenting Ayushmann Khurrana as Alok – Insaaniyat ki aakhri umeed“, revealing an intense look. It was followed by another mysterious poster of Rashmika Mandanna’s “Tadaka – Roshni ki ek hi paheli kiran.” The Animal star is seen dressed in a dramatic gown, putting forward a powerful expression on her face.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who is set to play a negative character, will portray the character of “Yakshasan – Andhere ka badshah.” In the poster, the actor is seen sporting long hair as he exudes a devilish aura.

The makers have also unveiled the first look of Paresh Rawal as Mr. Ram Bajaj Goyal – “someone who always tries to find tragedy in comedy.” This Diwali, the universe gives us a bloody love story in cinemas worldwide,” they said.
