Ranveer Singh to join Maddock`s horror comedy universe?

It’s definitely more the merrier when it comes to the horror comedy universe. After Rajkummar Rao led the on-screen world’s inception with Stree (2018), he has been joined by Bhediya’s (2022) Varun Dhawan, Munjya’s (2023) Abhay Verma, and Thama’s Ayushmann Khurrana. Who’s next? Ranveer Singh, we’ve heard.

Sources have told us that the superstar is in advanced talks with producer Dinesh Vijan to front a new instalment. A source close to the development revealed, “Ranveer has been in conversations with Dinesh for a while. He was at the Maddock office last week. The makers wanted a fresh energy to drive the next chapter, and Ranveer is keen to explore the genre. The paperwork is likely to be completed soon.”

It’s apparently being developed as a crossover that merges characters and storylines from Stree, Bhediya, and Thama. “The idea is to create an Avengers-style culmination down the road. They are talking dates as Ranveer will wrap up Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar soon. He has allotted some dates to Don 3 as well. This project is expected to roll in early 2026,” the source added. The buzz is that Manushi Chhillar is the top choice for the female lead.
