The horror comedy Munjya was released today worldwide. The film has caught attention due to the concept, the song ‘Taras’ and also because it’s a horror comedy, a genre that has a lot of takers. On top of it, it is a part of the exciting Maddock Supernatural Universe, which also comprises Stree (2018) and Bhediya (2022). Before the release, many wondered whether the Bhediya-Stree connection would come to the fore in Munjya or would the makers let it pass.
Bollywood Hungama has learned that the makers of Munjya present a huge surprise to the viewers. Varun Dhawan, the lead actor of Bhediya, appears in a cameo in Munjya. The scene is very crucial for the future of the Maddock Supernatural Universe. It probably also gives a hint on what one can expect in the next instalment of Bhediya and it surely enhances excitement for it.
Munjya stars Sharvari and Abhay Verma and is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. Produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, it is the story of a menacing spirit tied to a tree in a sleepy seaside town in Konkan, Maharashtra. All hell breaks loose once the spirit attaches himself to an awkward Pune boy for his ulterior motive, leading to chaos.
The Maddock Supernatural Universe began with a bang with Stree (2018), starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. Directed by Amar Kaushik, it was one of the biggest hits of 2018. This was followed by Roohi (2021), starring Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. Then came Bhediya and along with Varun Dhawan, it also starred Kriti Sanon.
The next film in the universe is Stree 2. It will release on August 30 this year and its pre-release hype is tremendous. Bhediya 2, meanwhile, was launched last year at an event of Jio Studios and is expected to release in 2025.
