A Strategic Move for Rashmika Comeback With Horror Film Thama

After a string of successes, Rashmika Mandanna faced a setback with her recent Hindi release Sikandar, which failed to impress at the box office. The film not only underperformed commercially but also drew criticism for underutilizing Rashmika in a relatively insignificant role. Coming off the high of Chhaava, this was a disappointing turn for the actress. However, Rashmika is now channeling her energy into a bold new project — a horror film titled Thama.

Currently in production, Thama features Rashmika in a prominent role, with intense night shoots underway. The film marks Rashmika’s first-ever foray into the horror genre, a space she hasn't explored even during her South Indian film career. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Thama also stars Ayushmann Khurrana in a key role. The film is jointly produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios and is slated for a grand theatrical release this Diwali.

Rashmika is reportedly excited about the challenge and is hopeful that Thama will mark her strong comeback in Bollywood. Given the genre's unpredictable nature and typically lower success ratio, the project is seen as a daring but strategic move. The horror genre has proven to be lucrative for many films, and Rashmika's willingness to take on a new challenge could pay off. With Thama, Rashmika is looking to prove herself as a versatile actress who can excel in different genres.

All eyes are now on Rashmika to see if Thama can turn the tide in her favor. With a talented cast, including Ayushmann Khurrana, and a well-known production house behind it, Thama has the potential to be a hit. Rashmika's fans are eagerly awaiting the film's release, hoping that it will mark a successful comeback for the actress. The success of Thama could solidify Rashmika's position as a leading lady in Bollywood.
