Cameos in Thamma: Every Hidden Detail Connecting the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU)

The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU) just got a serious power-up with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s Thamma, and fans can’t stop dissecting every frame for Easter eggs, cameos, and hidden connections. Far from being just another supernatural comedy, Thamma cements Maddock’s shared cinematic universe—linking Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya while teasing future crossover events that could rival Marvel’s multiverse in ambition and scale.

Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t seen Thamma yet, proceed at your own risk!

The Universe’s Nick Fury: Jana Returns

No Maddock Universe film is complete without Jana (Abhishek Banerjee)—the glue holding the madness together. He once again pops up in Thamma, confirming his role as the “Nick Fury” of MHCU.

After surviving Stree, Bhediya, Munjya, and Stree 2, Jana now fully understands the supernatural ecosystem. This time, he’s seen consulting a mysterious scholar-warrior portrayed by Sathyaraj (yes, Baahubali’s Kattappa himself!).

Sathyaraj’s character, introduced briefly in Munjya, now takes centre stage as the mythological mentor who warns Jana about an impending “Mahayudh” — the great war of humans and supernatural beings.

Bhediya vs. Betaal: The Ultimate Face-Off

The highlight of Thamma for many fans is the Varun Dhawan cameo as Bhediya.After his brutal battle in Stree 2, Bhediya’s powers are fading — until Jana tells him that only the blood of a Betaal can restore his strength.

Cue a dramatic confrontation with Ayushmann Khurrana’s Betaal Thamma. The fight is shot like a full-blown Marvel sequence — fangs, claws, and cinematic fury.

When Bhediya finally drinks the Betaal’s blood, he enters a terrifying full-werewolf “rampage mode.” The chaos only ends when he catches his own reflection, realizing that power without balance leads to self-destruction. Symbolic. Savage. Spectacular.

The Return of Villains and a Shadow Alliance

In a shocking post-credit scene, Thamma teases the birth of a villainous league. The camera pans to a dark underground cell, where Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s old Thamma is imprisoned. Suddenly, molten metal drips from the ceiling. Enter Sarkata — the headless monster from Stree 2, now revealed to be the reincarnated form of Akshay Kumar’s character.

Sarkata frees the old Thamma, saying, “Ab asli khel shuru hota hai.” (Now the real game begins.)

Together, they are expected to form the Trinity of Darkness, possibly joining hands with Munjya for the upcoming Maha Munjya chapter.

The Rise of a New Hero: Shakti Shalini

Just when you think it’s over, the final post-credit scene delivers a goosebump moment.

A glowing trident pierces the night sky as a female voice narrates,“Jab andhkaar badhta hai, tab prakash janm leta hai.” (When darkness rises, light is born.)

We see the silhouette of Aneeta Padda as Shakti Shalini — described as “The Protector, The Destroyer, The Mother of All.”

Her standalone film, Shakti Shalini, is slated for December 2026, and early buzz suggests she’ll be the MHCU’s version of Durga meets Wonder Woman.

Easter Eggs & Subtle Nods You Might Have Missed

• “Bittu” Reference: Jana jokingly calls Ayushmann “Bittu,” a fun callback to Aparshakti Khurana’s Stree character.

• The Queen of Chanderi: Nora Fatehi makes a dazzling cameo in a Betaal nightclub song, introducing herself as “The Queen of Chanderi” — directly referencing the setting of Stree.

• Timeline Reveal: A newspaper headline hints that Thamma takes place after Stree 2 but before Munjya 2, confirming the chronological order of the MHCU.

• Mirror Symbolism: The mirror scene in Thamma mirrors (pun intended) Shraddha Kapoor’s mirror curse from Stree 2, implying a shared mystical origin.
