The Maddock Supernatural Universe (MhCU) is about to get a groundbreaking new addition that promises to shake up the franchise in ways audiences have never seen before. In an exclusive revelation, acclaimed filmmaker Amar Kaushik, who's co-producing the upcoming film Thamma, has shared exciting details about Aneet Padda's directorial venture Shakti Shalini.
A Departure From The Familiar
While speaking about the expanding universe, Kaushik emphasized that Shakti Shalini will carve its own unique path rather than following the established template of previous MhCU films. "It's going to be very different from what we've seen so far in the Maddock Supernatural Universe," Kaushik revealed, generating significant buzz among horror enthusiasts.
Fresh Vision Under Aneet Padda's Direction
The film marks the directorial debut of Aneet Padda, who has previously worked as an associate director on several successful projects. Kaushik expressed strong confidence in Padda's vision, noting that the fresh perspective brought by the new director will introduce innovative elements to the popular horror franchise.
"Aneet has a very distinct approach to storytelling, and Shakti Shalini will reflect that unique voice," Kaushik added, suggesting that the film might explore uncharted territory within the supernatural genre.
Expanding The Maddock Supernatural Universe
The MhCU, masterminded by producer Dinesh Vijan, has already delivered massive hits like Stree and Bhediya, creating an interconnected world of horror-comedy that has resonated strongly with Indian audiences. With Shakti Shalini, the universe continues to expand while maintaining its core appeal of blending scares with laughter.
Kaushik's involvement as co-producer of Thamma and his insights into Shakti Shalini indicate the careful planning and creative diversity being injected into the growing franchise. This strategic approach ensures that each new installment brings something fresh to the table while building on the established mythology.
What to Expect
While specific plot details remain under wraps, industry insiders suggest that Shakti Shalini might explore mythological elements intertwined with contemporary horror themes. The title itself hints at powerful feminine energy, potentially continuing the franchise's trend of strong female characters as seen in Stree.
The film represents another bold step in Maddock Pictures' strategy to create a comprehensive cinematic universe that can compete with global franchises, while maintaining distinctly Indian storytelling roots.
