Will Jio Turn Rashmika’s Next into Blockbuster?

With Thama set to arrive soon, Jio Studios is expected to release the film instead of Pen Marudhar. This marks a major change for Maddock Films, as most of their previous projects were distributed by Pen Marudhar.

Sources revealed that Dinesh Vijan is in advanced discussions with Jio regarding Thama’s distribution. Reports also suggest that Deepak Sharma, who has been with PVR Pictures for years, will join Jio next month to oversee the film’s release plans.

It is still unclear whether this collaboration will continue for Maddock Films’ future projects, and the reason for the shift remains unknown. However, fans are closely watching to see if this new strategy proves fruitful for Maddock.

Thama has already sparked curiosity with its first look, while audiences are waiting eagerly for its trailer and songs. The teaser indicates that Maddock will keep its signature item number intact, adding to the buzz around the film.

Thama also marks Ayushmann Khurrana’s entry into the horror genre, which is a fresh experiment in his career. Whether viewers will embrace him in this role is yet to be seen, but anticipation continues to grow.

After Chhaava’s underwhelming run, Maddock Films has faced a difficult phase with only average performances at the box office. Thama now carries the expectations of turning into their much-needed hit or perhaps even a surprise blockbuster.
