The excitement surrounding the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU) continues to grow as the release of “Thamma” approaches, scheduled for October 21, 2025. The film, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, is expected to further develop the franchise’s distinct blend of comedy and horror, with connections to previous films such as “Bhediya” and “Stree 2.” Dinesh Vijan, the driving force behind the MHCU, has already confirmed a sequel titled “Thamma 2,” indicating that the narrative will remain fresh and engaging for audiences.
The film “Thamma” is not only a significant addition to the franchise but also sets the stage for upcoming projects in the MHCU. Following its release, fans can anticipate a series of films slated for 2026, including “Shakti Shalini” and “Chamunda.” While initially set to debut on December 31, 2025, “Shakti Shalini” has faced delays and will now arrive earlier in 2026, likely featuring Aneet Padda in a leading role. “Chamunda,” reportedly starring Alia Bhatt, is now expected to take the place of “Bhediya 2,” which has been pushed to December 2026 or early 2027.
The next phase of the MHCU will unfold in 2027 with the release of “Chhoti Stree,” which will delve into Shraddha Kapoor’s character, alongside “Stree 3” and “Maha Munjya.” “Stree 3” is anticipated to premiere on August 13, 2027, while “Maha Munjya” is set for December 24, 2027.
By 2028, the MHCU will reach a climactic moment with the release of “Pehla Mahayudh” on August 11, followed by “Doosra Mahayudh” on October 18. Although these films may seem to conclude the saga, Vijan has also revealed plans for “Thamma 2,” expected sometime in 2029, ensuring that the universe will continue to expand and evolve.
With each new installment, the MHCU promises to offer audiences a unique cinematic experience, blending humor with elements of horror while maintaining engaging storylines and beloved characters. As fans await “Thamma,” the roadmap for future releases only heightens the anticipation for this unconventional and entertaining franchise.
