Thamasha has been bankrolled by Sameer Thahir, Shyju Khalid, Lijo Jose Pellissery, and Chemban Vinod Jose, under the banner of Happy Hours Entertainment. Directed by Ashraf Hamza, Thamaasha is the story of a University professor with a receding hairline and timid demeanour on the lookout for love. Portrayed by Vinay Forrt, the movie revolves around Forrt's character Sreenivasan who is constantly rejected in the wedding market for his baldness. Co-starring newcomer Chinnu Chandini Nair, and leading ladies Divya Prabha and Grace Antony, Thamaasha, according to its stars and director, addresses the issue of body shaming with a much-needed sensitivity.
