Apart from Stree 3 and Bhediya 2, will Shraddha Kapoor participate in all films in the horror comedy universe? Here’s the information we have so far.
Moviegoers were pleasantly surprised in January of this year when filmmaker Dinesh Vijan announced the release dates for eight new Maddock Horror Comedy Universe films. This was excellent news for fans, most of whom were still enthralled by Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s blockbuster hit flick Stree 2 (2024). Thama and Shakti Shalini, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, will be the first film of 2025, followed by Bhediya 2, Chamunda, Stree 3, Maha Munjya, Pehla Mahayudh, and Doosara Mahayudh. While there have been rumors concerning the film’s cast, latest reports indicate that all horror comedies will have one star: Shraddha.
So far, the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe has released four films, with Munjya (2024) being the only horror comedy that does not feature Shraddha Kapoor. The actress played the lead in both Stree (2018) and Stree 2, and she also collaborated with Varun Dhawan on a song in Bhediya (2022). Varun stole hearts last year with his appearance in Stree 2, where he saved Shraddha during the film’s climax. Fans were undoubtedly expecting Shraddha to rejoin with Varun in Bhediya 2 before taking on the role of her favorite character in Stree 3. However, according to a rumor provided by The Nod, which recently interviewed the actor, Shraddha will appear in all eight horror comedy films.
This recent revelation has sparked a divide among online users. Some fans are thrilled! For example, one social media user speculated, “Either she’s the actual Thanos of the horror world, or she’s gonna pull the entire squad together,” while another exclaimed, “As she should? In terms of folklore, she is now the universe’s original. Sidenote, God dammit, she looks hot in that photo. 😮💨.” Meanwhile, other internet users are dissatisfied and bored. One such netizen claimed, “Her PR will make it all about her, and if the film is a success, they will say it’s because of her.” All the while, she will make a 2-3 minute cameo,” while another agreed, writing, “Exactly can’t wait to watch them do that again. And how the goddess Shraddha made everything hit, and how she is superior to everybody else who has graced the planet. Another comment said, “Yawn.” Boring.”
Other actors said to be involved in the horror comedy world include Kiara Advani, Alia Bhatt, and Akshay Kumar. Who are you the most enthusiastic for?
