Ayushmann on his career's biggest opening

Thamma directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, earned Rs 25.11 crore on its opening day. This marked Ayushmann's career's best opening. Ayushmann says, “I’m an entertainer, so it brings me so much joy to see people loving and enjoying Thamma and my performance during these big Diwali holidays. When my visionary producer Dinesh Vijan had told me that Thamma was releasing in Diwali, I was thrilled because it was something that I had always wished to happen in my career.”

He adds, “Having carved a niche with my unique, quirky films, I was eagerly waiting for that one opportunity to bring my brand of cinema on Diwali—a festival that has seen the biggest of the biggest superstars release their tentpole films in. Thamma is the tentpole film of my career, and I’m fortunate to have had Diwali to release it. Every year, I used to go to theatres with my family to watch a superstar’s film release. Today, I have gone to the theatres to watch my film with my family. It feels incredible!”
