At the trailer launch of Thamma last month, Ayushmann Khurrana playfully admitted he was missing his 'Thamma ki Stree,' Rashmika Mandanna.

On Monday, October 13, 2025, the duo reunited in Mumbai, exuding adorable chemistry as they kicked off the promotions for their coming Diwali release.

Rashmika introduced Malaika on stage by calling her 'the OG' and the two recreated the song with their fiery dance moves.

"I am super, super excited to be a part of Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. It's been a great privilege to be a part of it. After so long, I really enjoyed a song. It's going to be a Thamma-ka!" Malaika said with a smile.

Ayushmann said his "most favourite" track from the film is a romantic ballad Rahein Na Rahein Hum and praised Composer Sachin-Jigar for doing a "great job" on the song.

"Exactly one year ago, we announced Thamma with this song and it went viral on social media. We were all waiting for this song and it's finally here," Ayushmann said.

Jigar Saraiya, one half of the musical duo, revealed that Ayushmann recorded a different version of the song, which will be released in due course.

The audience asked Ayushmann to perform the song, which he obliged.

Aditya said he dropped by after attending the censor board screening for Thamma and racing to complete the sound mixing work ahead of its October 21 release date.

"We are really looking forward to showing everyone the film. We want to put out the best version of the film. We are counting the days," Aditya said.
