As a friend, collaborator and admirer of his work, I can only see this universe growing from strength to strength given the grand ideas of expansion that he has."In his collaboration with Dinesh Vijan after Bala, Ayushmann said, "Dinesh and I have a similar passion for disruption. Our film Bala was a project that made people jump up from their seats and laud it for being really fresh. Thama is our second collaboration and it is so new that I can’t wait for the reaction of people when they see it in theatres next Diwali. We are drawn to each other when we want to completely shatter the mould and give audiences something that they have never seen before. Thama is that project, a total wildcard, a film that no one has seen in India. I’m really pumped to join the sets of this film and create a huge big screen experience with Dinesh and his entire team of fellow visionaries like Amar Kaushik, my director Aditya Sarpotdar and the writing genius Niren Bhatt."Concluding, talking about choosing Thama as his next project, Ayushmann Khurrana said, "The fact that Thama is the first love story of the horror comedy universe is all the more exciting! The promise of it being a ‘bloody’ love story is also a supremely unique and compelling pitch for today’s audience who want clutter-breaking theatrical experiences. I have always been on a search for such unique projects throughout my career and I’m grateful that brilliant directors and filmmakers have considered me to helm such films. Thama is a project of a lifetime for me and I know that I will give my heart and soul for people to hopefully shower it with unanimous love."ALSO READ: Prithviraj Sukumaran cast opposite Kareena Kapoor in Meghna Gulzar’s next, replacing Ayushmann Khurrana: Report
