Mumbai, Oct 22 (NationPress) Rashmika Mandanna's much-anticipated horror comedy, Thamma, finally premiered for the audience on Tuesday. Taking a brief pause from her promotional activities, the Animal actress reflected on her remarkable journey in bringing this film to life.

Rashmika shared on social media, "Thamma...Ahh… where do I even start... From the initial call-sheet to the final edit, this film has been so much more than just a job. It has been a journey filled with heart, grit, laughter, and bruises, along with mornings we dreaded waking up for and nights we wished would never end (sic)."

She expressed her gratitude towards director Aditya Sarpotdar, stating, "To our amazing director, @aditya_a_sarpotdar sir, my heart is filled with respect for you. You believed in me, encouraged me, and envisioned what this film could become, guiding us towards that vision."

Rashmika also conveyed her excitement about working alongside Ayushmann Khurrana, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal, saying, "@ayushmannk, @pareshrawalofficial sir, @nawazuddin._siddiqui sir, performing scenes with you was so seamless and natural. I’m thrilled we collaborated on this project!"

Acknowledging the hard work of the crew, she added, "To our team... those who arrived early, worked late, lugged gear up hills, chased the light through rain and diverse weather patterns, and patched up wounds—thanks to you, we captured stunning frames and created lasting memories. Watching the film in theaters felt incredibly rewarding."

Reflecting on her time on set, Rashmika remarked, "These images will depict my life during filming. Some days, I was too exhausted to remove my makeup, and @tanvichemburkar had to assist. Other days, I wished the days would never end, and one day I was just focused on nailing my dialogues, with Aditya sir patiently helping me through it. I am immensely grateful for every moment."

"And to you, my beloved fans, your unwavering support, your stories, your patience, and your trust mean the world to me. I see it all and feel it deeply. Now that Thamma is out, I can't wait for you to experience it. This is just the beginning for me... filled with gratitude and love," Rashmika concluded her heartfelt message.
