EXCLUSIVE: Ayushmann Khurrana and Nawazuddin Siddiqui talk about cameos in Thamma
Speaking to Pinkvilla, Ayushmann Khurrana and Nawazuddin Siddiqui were asked about the cameos lined up for the film. In response, the Bala actor said, “Aapko kya lag raha hai, kaun aa sakta hai? Hum toh bata nahi sakte, humein allowed nahi hai.” (What do you think? Who could appear? We can’t say because we’re not allowed to.)
As he was pressed further, not on who might appear but how many cameos are in the film, Ayushmann chuckled and added, “Kitne cameos hain?! Teen se chaar cameos hain. Teen toh hain hì.” (How many cameos? There are three to four. Three for sure.)
When asked specifically if Stree (Shraddha Kapoor) would make an appearance in Thamma, both actors tactfully avoided answering, teasing that fans would find out soon enough.
