The latest track Poison Baby from the upcoming film ‘Thamma’ is setting the internet ablaze. Starring Rashmika Mandanna and Malaika Arora, the song is making all the noise, and no, not just for its beats.
On one side, you have Malaika, giving the perfect Gen Z vibes. On the other hand, Rashmika channels a darker, more mysterious gothic look that perfectly complements her on-screen character.
From ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ to ‘Poison Baby’, there is no stopping Arora when it comes to a dance number. Giving all the Gen Z a run for their money, Malaika Arora immersed herself in Gen Z core fashion for her latest song from ‘Thamma’.
If you look carefully at the video, you will find her Gen Z-coded fashion details. Be it her stacked bracelets and rings, seen frequently on modern pop icons or her Gen-Z favourite thigh-high slit champagne dress, Arora’s fashion is a must-steal.
The actor’s look is a nod to global street style while still carrying Malaika Arora’s signature sophistication. The striking armlet adds a unique twist, a clear nod to Gen Z’s love for statement accessories.
Her jewellery layering trend has previously been spotted on Janhvi Kapoor in her music video ‘Perfect’ and Shehnaaz Gill in her music video ‘ When and Where’.
While Malaika dazzles in gold, Rashmika Mandanna went goth. As her character in ‘Thamma’ plays a vampire, Rashmika Mandanna’s styling leans into the gothic aesthetic with flair. Dressed in a deep red saree paired with smoky eyes, her look reminds us of Wednesday Addams from the Netflix show ‘Wednesday’.
What makes ‘Poison Baby’ stand out is the contrasting styles between Malaika and Rashmika. While Malaika embodies the fashion-forward pulse of 2025, Rashmika, meanwhile, grounds the song with her character-driven intensity and vintage allure. Tell us, whose styling did you like better?
Apart from Rashmika and Ayushmann Khurrana, the film stars Paresh Rawal and Faisal Malik in important roles. ‘Thamma’ is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, and the screenplay has been written by Niren Bhatt, Arun Fulara and Suresh Mathew.
The film is all set to release this Diwali. This is the latest addition to the series of Maddock Films like ‘Stree’, ‘Munjya’, ‘Bhediya’ and ‘Stree 2’.
