The buzz around Thamma has been electrifying, fueled by a stellar cast, a captivating trailer, and its link to the ever-expanding Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. Naturally, this sparked intense speculation about surprise cameos, which only heightened anticipation ahead of the film’s release. Fans have been eager to discover who makes special appearances in this spooky yet hilarious world. In this article, we reveal all the exciting cameos that make Thamma even more thrilling.
Spoiler alert!
The first cameo to appear is Elvis Karim Prabhakar, portrayed by Sathyaraj, who also featured in Munjya (2024). His presence won’t come as a surprise since he was teased in the trailer. Next up is Jana aka JD aka Janardhan, played by Abhishek Banerjee.
The standout cameo belongs to Varun Dhawan as Bhediya. His scene steals the show and ranks among the film’s highlights. Finally, Nora Fatehi makes a memorable appearance in the song “Dilbar Ki Aankhon Ka”, introduced as the same character from Chanderi. This is a clever nod to her earlier appearance in the song “Kamariya” from Stree (2018). But she doesn’t just dance — she also delivers a key dialogue. To top it all off, the terrifying Sar Kata makes a chilling return as well.
A Legacy of Cameos in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe
The tradition of surprise cameos in Maddock’s Horror Comedy Universe began with Bhediya (2022), which featured Rajkummar Rao (Vicky) and Aparshakti Khurana (Bittu) in post-credits scenes. It also confirmed that JD (Abhishek Banerjee) is the same character as Jana from Stree.
The sleeper hit Munjya (2024), starring Sharvari and Abhay Verma, ended with Bhediya (Varun Dhawan) making a surprise appearance. Bhediya also returned in a powerful cameo in Stree 2 (2024), which additionally saw Akshay Kumar’s entrance as the descendant of the menacing villain Sarkata.
With Thamma, Maddock has once again mastered the art of interweaving stories within its growing Horror Comedy Universe. These surprise cameos not only boost the fun factor but cleverly tease future crossovers and spin-offs. They ensure Thamma is far more than a standalone film—it’s a vital piece in a larger, intricately connected puzzle that expands with each new release. Fans will leave the theater not just entertained, but eagerly anticipating what lies ahead.
