Ayushmann Khurrana Makes His Comeback with “Thama”
Ayushmann Khurrana marks his return to the big screen with the much-anticipated film “Thama,” following a nearly two-year hiatus. The actor, who turns 41 today, last appeared in “Dream Girl 2,” which hit theaters in 2023.
“Thama,” directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, promises to be a pivotal project for Khurrana as he ventures into the Maddock Films’ Supernatural Universe. This universe has garnered attention with successful releases like “Stree,” “Bhediya,” “Munjya,” and “Stree 2,” and now aims to explore new supernatural themes and characters.
The success of “Thama” is significant for Khurrana, who has experienced more setbacks than triumphs in his recent films. While “Dream Girl” was a blockbuster in 2019, his more recent five releases have struggled, with most failing to resonate with audiences. Here’s a brief overview of his last five films:
- 2021: Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui – Flop
- 2021: Anek – Disaster
- 2022: Doctor G – Flop
- 2022: An Action Hero – Flop in theatres; hit on Netflix
- 2023: Dream Girl 2 – Hit
As fans eagerly await “Thama,” which releases in theaters on October 21, Khurrana’s hope for a major comeback hangs in the balance. With a strong supporting cast featuring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Rashmika Mandanna, the film aims to breathe new life into his career and potentially set box office records within the supernatural genre.
