Rajkummar Rao Teases a Grand Horror-Comedy Crossover: Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya Unite? In a recent Interview, Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor shared exciting insights about the future of Maddock Films’ horror-comedy universe. With the release of Stree 2 just around the corner, the anticipation is building up. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film stars Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao and is set to hit theatres on 15th August, 2024.
Horror-Comedy Universe
During the Masterclass, hosted by Himesh Mankad, Rajkummar Rao was asked about the possibility of a film where characters from Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya unite. Rao responded with enthusiasm, hinting at a grand plan for the future. He mentioned, “It’s too early to say to be honest. But sure, that’s the reason this universe is building; that eventually, we can have that one big film where we will have a villain like Thanos, and Vicky like Iron Man and (pointing towards Shraddha and hinting at Stree) Black Widow. So yes, that’s the plan. One major film. But before that, we are just building up the universe, slowly, till it reaches the top of the pyramid; that now we have to make that one big film. But yes, it will happen.”
Maddock Films’ Universe
Shraddha Kapoor also expressed her pride in being part of this unique horror-comedy universe. She highlighted how Maddock Films has successfully created a series of interconnected films that have been well-received by audiences. Kapoor said, “I thought it was a very smart idea considering Maddock’s horror-comedy movies are being loved by all. Ki woh possible hai (That it is possible) to interconnect the films; To get one character in another film and the other in the other. Maza aayega ki humare India se yeh universe aa raha hai. (It will be fun that such a movie universe is coming from India). All of us will be so proud. Even with Maddock doing the VFx of these films, I think it is a step forward for the Indian cinema.”
