Thamma has been one of the most talked-about films of 2025 for multiple reasons. From its lead stars, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna to its dance numbers, everything contributed to the film being the talk of the town. Talking about the dance numbers, the film featured three songs titled \u2018Tum Mere Na Huye,\u2019 \u2018Dilbar Ki Aankhon Ka\u2019 and \u2018Poison Baby\u2019 which sparked major backlash from the audience. Now the film helmer, Aditya Sarpotdar has defended his decision to put those dance numbers in Thamma.<\/p>\n

Aditya Sarpotdar Defends Thamma Dance Numbers<\/p>\n

During his conversation with The Indian Express\u2019 Screen, Aditya Sarpotdar stated all such things are \u201cmarketing assets\u201d that lead an individual into a movie. He shared that in the end, what the film gives the audience matters. The director added that for him, those tracks appear because the storyline unfolds through them, adding that Thamma was never meant to be an \u201citem number\u201d movie. Sarpotdar made sure to say that the audience didn\u2019t have any issue with the same kinds of songs in his previous work including \u2018Taras\u2019 from Munjya and \u2018Aaj Ki Raat\u2019 from Stree 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that all of a sudden people started having an issue with it. Sarpotdar reasoned that maybe it happened too often so people reacted to it differently. Sarpotdar also expressed that Thamma naturally needed more extravaganza and that the audience tends to judge before watching the project. Having said that, he was glad that they watched his film anyway.<\/p>\n

Thamma which is a Maddock film, turned out to be a box office hit. Other movies including Munjya, Stree, Stree 2 and Bhediya also belong to Maddock\u2019s horror comedy universe. As far as its future projects go, we will see Saiyaara star Aneet Padda in its upcoming project Shakti Shalini, according to the reports. Now that the film-makers are experimenting with their projects and building their own universe, our hope is restored in believing that the future of films is in safe hands!<\/p>\n
