A Legacy of Success in 2024

Building on the monumental success of Stree 2, Maddock Films is embarking on its most ambitious project yet—a cinematic universe that intertwines horror-comedy with superhero narratives. The culmination of this grand vision will be the two-part saga Mahayudh (2028), which is poised to redefine the boundaries of Indian cinema, blending heritage with innovation on an unprecedented scale.
Dinesh Vijan elaborated on the studio’s strategy:
“We have consistently redefined Indian cinema with every release. From delivering mega-blockbusters to creating a cohesive cinematic universe, Maddock Films is a powerhouse of storytelling innovation.”
