He added, "Having carved a niche with my unique, quirky films, I was eagerly waiting for that one opportunity to bring my brand of cinema on Diwali - a festival that has seen the biggest of the biggest superstars release their tentpole films in. Thamma is the tentpole film of my career and I'm fortunate to have got Diwali to release it. Every year, I used to go to theatres with my family to watch a superstar's film release. Today, I have gone to theatres to watch my film with my family. It feels incredible!" ‘Thamma’ X Review: Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s Horror-Comedy Film Receives Thumbs Up From Audiences, Who Praise Its ‘Explosive Action, Raw Emotions and Twists’.
