Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s body of work has been as varied as it gets- from the gritty Sacred Games, to the universally acclaimed Gangs of Wasseypur, to the dark Raman Raghav 2.0. And now, he’s set for Thamma, a horror-comedy alongside Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna.
In a chat with HT City, he tells us he is just glad that this will be the first film that his children- daughter Shora and son Yani, will be able to watch him in! “I have excitement for Thamma also because the world we have shot on, was only seen in our Dant Kathan stories before. And plus, the kind of films I do, kids can't watch them. This is the first film that my children will get to see!,” laughs the 51-year-old.
Thamma is another installment in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU) created by Dinesh Vijan. Nawazuddin is all praises for the way the universe has shaped up so far, with Stree and Munjya. “If you look at this universe, from Stree till now, the set of talented actors you get to see in a horror film, didn’t used to happen for horror films before. Aise actors ko ikathha karna kamaal hai,” he adds.
