Meanwhile, talking about Thamma, Rashmika told Variety, "When I heard 'Thamma' the first time, I knew I had to be part of this universe. These are such rooted characters in our Indian culture, but at the same time they have such swag. There are no references - you're creating these characters in your mind and completely surrendering to your team. I'm as surprised by the outcome as the audience will be".
