Summary
- Amar Kaushik, director of Stree and Bhediya, is building Maddock's horror universe
- Characters will evolve and grow with the audience over time
- Maddock is crafting its own original comics and mythology, not borrowing from existing works

In an exclusive interview, visionary filmmaker Amar Kaushik has provided a behind-the-scenes look at the development of Maddock's horror universe. As the director behind hits like Stree and Bhediya, Kaushik is now spearheading this expansive cinematic world in collaboration with producer Dinesh Vijan.
Kaushik explains that the core concept driving this project is the evolution of characters over time, allowing them to grow and connect with audiences as they mature. Rather than confining the stories to standalone films, the team is crafting an interconnected universe where these beloved characters can return and continue their journeys.
Notably, Maddock is not relying on existing literary works or comic book lore. Instead, the filmmakers are building an entirely original mythology from the ground up, writing their own comics and stories. This approach, Kaushik believes, will enable them to create a truly homegrown cinematic experience that resonates with the next generation of viewers.
As the Maddock Horror Universe continues to expand, with projects like Thamma extending the narrative, Kaushik and his team remain focused on weaving a captivating tapestry of Indian folklore, humor, and horror. Their goal is to craft a cinematic world that audiences can immerse themselves in and grow alongside the characters.
