However, in an interview with Filmygyan, Amar clarified “Kiara was never officially part of the project. Nothing was confirmed, so I don’t know how it came out. I’ve always wanted to work with her.” Addressing the rumour further, he said, “Nobody was locked. We were just exploring who would fit the role.” Shakti Shalini, teased in the post-credit scene of Thamma, marks the next chapter in Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, which includes Stree (2018), Bhediya (2022), Munjya (2024), and Thamma.
