"Because of you, we stood on those locations, we captured those frames, we created those memories.. In the theater when the film played it felt so worth it."
Behind-the-scenes insights
Makeup artist helped her on many occasions
Mandanna also shared personal moments from the Thamma set, revealing that there were days when she couldn't even remove her makeup. "(Some) days I couldn't stay up enough to take my make up off so @tanvichemburkar would have to do it." She added, "Now, with Thamma finally out, I can't wait for you to watch it.." Meanwhile, Thamma is India's most expensive horror-comedy ever, reportedly made on a budget of ₹140 crore.
