Actress Laya completes dubbing for her portions in Nithiin's 'Thammudu'

Actress Laya completes dubbing for her character Jhansi Kiranmayee in Nithiin's emotional action drama Thammudu, set to release July 4, 2025.

"The powerful voice behind a dynamic character #JhansiKiranmayee - Sri Venkateswara Creations"

Chennai, June 19

The makers of director Sriram Venu's emotional action drama 'Thammudu', featuring actor Nithiin in the lead, on Thursday announced that actress Laya, who will be making a comeback with this film, has now completed dubbing for her portions in it.

Laya plays the character of Jhansi Kiranmayee in the film.

Taking to its X timeline, Sri Venkateswara Creations, the production house producing the film, wrote, "The powerful voice behind a dynamic character #JhansiKiranmayee. Actress #Laya has wrapped up dubbing for her Comeback Role in #Thammudu. In Theatres on July 4th, 2025. #ThammuduOnJuly4th"

The film has triggered huge interest in audiences for a number of reasons.

A teaser released by the makers earlier this month gave away the fact that Nithiin plays a trained archer in this film and that the story revolves around the bond a brother shares with his sister, who is looking to keep up her promise.

The story happens in a place called Ambaragodugu. The place is unique as there is only way to either enter or get out of it. The place seems to be filled with grim looking characters and it is evident that one cannot set foot outside the region, once one enters it.

Meanwhile, the teaser gives the impression that Nithiin's sister and her young child are trapped in this place and that those concerned for the safety of Nithiin urge him to get away from it, as far as possible.

The teaser ends with a punchline from Nithiin. "You are considered dead even if you are alive if you can't keep up your word. You are considered alive even if you are dead when you keep your promise."

Apart from Nithiin and Laya, the film also features Sapthami Gowda, Saurabh Sachdeva, Swasika, Hari Teja, Srikanth Iyyengar, Temper Vamshi, Chammak Chandra and Varsha Bollamma among others.

The film, which has been produced by Raju - Shirish, has music by B. Ajaneesh Loknath and cinematography by K.V Guhan, Sameer Reddy and Setu. Editing for the film is by Sh Prawin Pudi and art direction is by G M Sekhar.

Vikram Mor, Real Satish, Ravi Verma and Ram Krishan have worked as the stunt choreographers of this film.

So excited to see Laya back on screen after so long! She was brilliant in her earlier films. The storyline sounds intriguing too - brother-sister bond with action and emotions. Perfect masala mix for Telugu cinema. 😊

Nithiin choosing interesting scripts these days. After 'Macherla Niyojakavargam', this seems like another good one. But hope they don't overdo the action scenes - sometimes simple emotions work better than too much stunts.

That punchline at the end gave me goosebumps! "Alive even if dead when you keep promise" - such a powerful line. B. Ajaneesh's music will surely elevate these emotional scenes. Counting days for July 4th!

The setting of Ambaragodugu sounds unique - single entry/exit place. Reminds me of some remote villages in Andhra. Hope they've done proper research about archery traditions if that's a major plot point.

Good to see strong female characters - Laya as Jhansi Kiranmayee and Sapthami Gowda too. But why are most Telugu films still naming female characters after historical warrior queens? Can't we have original powerful names?

The technical team looks solid - Guhan's cinematography plus Ajaneesh's music is a winning combo. But hope the story lives up to the hype. Recent big budget Telugu films have been disappointing in content despite good technicians.
