Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana has carved his name in the history books of Indian cinema as someone who has always chosen the most quirky films and subjects to deliver big blockbusters. With his first Diwali release, Dinesh Vijan’s Thamma from the blockbuster Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), Ayushmann as Alok has delivered his biggest opening to date—Rs 25.11 crore net in India.
Ayushmann says, “I’m an entertainer, so it brings me so much joy to see people loving and enjoying Thamma and my performance during these big Diwali holidays. When my visionary producer Dinesh Vijan had told me that Thamma was releasing in Diwali, I was thrilled because it was something that I had always wished to happen in my career.”
