During a recent promotional outing for his upcoming film ‘Stree 2’, A-list actor Rajkummar Rao opened up on the possibility of all the titular horror characters of Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films horror-comedy universe, Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree, Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya and Munjya, uniting on screen.
Rao said, “It’s too early to say to be honest. But sure, that’s why this universe is building; we can eventually 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,” he affirmed. “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.”
Kapoor on the other hand took pride in being a part of something like a horror-comedy universe and added, “I thought it was a brilliant 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.”
