Nawazuddin Siddiqui: “Thamma” is My First Family-Friendly Film
In a conversation with HT City, Nawazuddin Siddiqui shares his excitement about starring in a film suitable for his children, Shora and Yani.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s filmography showcases a remarkable range, from the intense Sacred Games to the critically acclaimed Gangs of Wasseypur, as well as the compelling Raman Raghav 2.0. His upcoming project, Thamma, is a horror-comedy featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna.
During the chat, Siddiqui expressed his joy that this marks the first film his children will be able to see him in. He shared, “I’m excited for Thamma because the world we shot in is something I only read about in folklore. Plus, my usual films aren’t suitable for kids. This is the first movie they can watch!”
Thamma is a continuation of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), crafted by Dinesh Vijan. He praised the evolution of this universe, indicating that the ensemble of talented actors featured in horror films now is unprecedented. “The level of actors coming together for horror films like Stree and Munjya is remarkable,” he added.
What are your thoughts on the growing trend of family-friendly films in the horror-comedy genre?
