Maddock Films reveals lineup of upcoming movies (pic/Instagram)
Maddock Films had a successful year as it delivered the blockbuster film Stree 2 and hit films like Munjya, and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. Maddock Films has cemented itself as an experimenter with innovative storytelling. Maddock Films has now announced an expansive slate of upcoming films, including the highly anticipated Shakti Shalini and Chamunda. These films promise to expand the studio's cinematic universe, by introducing new characters and twists to the already existing horror universe.
Maddock Films ventured into the horror-comedy genre in India with the 2018 blockbuster Stree, and blended spine-chilling thrills, humour, and desi folklore. This resonated with audiences, propelling horror comedy into further mainstream. With its latest announcement, Maddock Films is embarking on its most ambitious venture yet: a visionary, interconnected cinematic universe of horror-comedy superheroes. Spanning the next four years, this narrative will culminate in Mahayudh, a two-part saga set to redefine the boundaries of horror-comedy in Indian cinema. Bringing together superheroes from across the Maddock horror-comedy universe, Mahayudh promises to push the limits of both genre and scale.
