Directed by Amar Kaushik and featuring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, excitement is building for the highly anticipated release of Stree 2.

‘That’s the plan. One major film’: Rajkummar Rao on Stree, Munjya & Bhediya collaboration
Rajkummar Rao recently addressed the buzz surrounding a potential crossover of the Maddock Films universe, which includes Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya. Speaking ahead of Stree 2’s release, Rao commented on the idea of a big, interconnected film involving these characters.
He said, “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.”
The actor further added, “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.”
This statement fuels speculation about a grand cinematic universe where characters from different films unite in a single movie. The idea of integrating iconic characters from the horror-comedy genre into one blockbuster has fans eagerly waiting for more details.
Shraddha Kapoor also shared her excitement for the idea of interconnected films within Maddock Films’ horror-comedy universe. “I thought it was a very smart idea considering Maddock’s horror-comedy movies are being loved by all. 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.”
While the prospect of a crossover involving Stree, Munjya, and Bhediya remains speculative, the hints from Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor have certainly fueled anticipation.
