Stree 2 Ending Fuels Buzz of Varun Dhawan's Bhediya Joining Maddock's Horror-Comedy Universe

As of August 20, 2025, the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe is set to expand with the upcoming release of Ayushmann Khurrana's Thama, which is expected to be the next installment in the interconnected franchise. The buzz around this expansion has been fueled by the post-credit scene of the recently released Stree 2, which hinted at the possible appearance of Varun Dhawan's Bhediya character in Thama.

The Stree 2 post-credit scene featured a conversation between Bhediya and Jana, set in a forest, with a reference to Munjya, another character from the Maddock universe. This has led to speculation that Bhediya may either make a cameo or have a more significant role in Thama, further linking the films within the shared horror-comedy universe.

Adding to the intrigue, the Thama teaser has revealed a strong vampire element in the upcoming film, which could potentially tie it to the larger Maddock narrative. Meanwhile, Maddock Films has confirmed that Bhediya 2 is scheduled for release on August 14, 2026, indicating that the studio is committed to expanding this interconnected cinematic world.

As the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe continues to evolve, fans are eagerly anticipating the connections and crossovers that may unfold in the future, with Thama and Bhediya 2 set to play a crucial role in this ongoing narrative.
