Wamiqa made her Malayalam debut opposite Tovino Thomas in Basil Joseph’s Godha, which remains a fan favorite. Nearly eight years later, she is stepping back into the industry with Tiki Taka, a high-profile, multilingual project designed to appeal to audiences across India. The move also highlights her expanding presence in regional cinema alongside her established Bollywood career.

The buzz around Tiki Taka intensified after the release of its striking first-look poster. Featuring seven silhouetted figures — four men and three women — advancing through a smoky urban landscape with weapons in hand, the visuals set the tone for a gritty, high-octane action narrative. The film is slated for a Christmas 2025 release, positioning it as one of the most awaited year-end blockbusters.

For Wamiqa Gabbi, this project adds yet another feather to her already diverse portfolio. She currently has over nine releases lined up, spanning multiple languages and genres. In Bollywood, her upcoming films include the horror comedy Bhoot Bangla alongside Akshay Kumar, Dil Ka Darwaza Khol Na Darling with Jaya Bachchan and Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 with Ayushmann Khurrana. In Telugu cinema, she will be seen in the much-anticipated actioner G2.

By leading Tiki Taka, Wamiqa continues to showcase her versatility and adaptability, moving effortlessly between commercial entertainers and intense dramas. Her choice of projects reflects her growing stature as a pan-India star who refuses to be boxed into a single industry or genre.

As anticipation builds, Tiki Taka stands poised not only as her grand comeback to Malayalam cinema but also as a potential milestone in her journey toward cementing her space in Indian cinema at large.
