The new Hindi movie, which released in cinemas on Independence Day 2024 and clashed with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Khel Khel Mein’ and John Abraham’s ‘Vedaa’, has already minted more than Rs 500 crore at the domestic box office. Amid the massive success of the film, Amar Kaushik has provided an update on his next project.
As per several reports, Amar Kaushik is all set to collaborate with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna for a vampire film. Speaking about it, Amar Kaushik told India Today, “The vampire film is titled Thamba. We will begin shooting for it in the next two months.”
For the unversed, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna have been roped in ‘Munjya’ director Aditya Sarpotdar's horror-comedy.
“Ayushmann Khurrana and Dinesh Vijan have previously worked together on Bala and share a great creative bond. They have been discussing Vampires of Vijay Nagar for a while now and are all set to take the film on floors by the end of this year,” Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying.
“It will mark the first collaboration of Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. Both the actors have a very unique arc in the film, which will take the audiences by surprise. The script is presently in the writing stage and will soon get into the pre-production stage,” he added.
Amar Kaushik has also confirmed Varun Dhawan's 'Bhediya 2'. He revealed that the story has been written and the screenplay is being developed as he is not satisfied with few parts of the story.
Coming back to Amar Kaushik’s ‘Stree 2’, it recently went past the Hindi lifetime collection of 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion', becoming the fourth-highest grossing Hindi language film of all time, only behind 'Jawan', 'Gadar 2', and 'Pathaan'.
In terms of worldwide collection, 'Stree 2' has already grossed more than Rs 700 crore. The film is now the highest-grossing film of both Shraddha and Rajkummar's careers.
