After the much anticipated release of Thamma this diwali, fans are eagerly waiting for slate of upcoming films from the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU).
The Ayushmann Khurrana-led film, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, was set to expand the supernatural universe that began with Stree and continued through Bhediya and Munjya. Here is the set of movies releasing by MHCU in following years.
Shakti Shalini
Shakti Shalini, rumoured to star Aneet Padda, will be the first to release, now expected in early 2026 after being pushed from its initial December 2025 date.
Chamunda & Bhediya 2
Chamunda, reportedly featuring Alia Bhatt in the lead, is also part of the 2026 lineup. Dinesh Vijan revealed to Galatta Plus that the release order has changed; Chamunda will now arrive before Bhediya 2. Initially slated for an August 14, 2026, release, Bhediya 2 has now been rescheduled to December 4, 2026, or early 2027. The film is expected to continue Varun Dhawan’s story while potentially bringing back Ayushmann Khurrana’s Betal from Thamma for an epic crossover moment
2027 Stree and Munjya
the universe will shift focus to Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree. During the Thamma x Stree event, the actress revealed that an animated spin-off titled Chhoti Stree will explore her origin story, followed by the much-awaited Stree 3, expected to release on August 13, 2027. Later that year, the Munjya sequel, Maha Munjya, will arrive in cinemas on December 24, 2027.
Pehla Mahayudh, Doosra Mahayudh
The MHCU will culminate in an Avengers-style crossover with Pehla Mahayudh and Doosra Mahayudh, releasing on August 11, 2028 and October 18, 2028, respectively. However, the saga won’t end there. Thamma 2 has also been confirmed, with its release planned for 2029.
