Deepika Padukone May Join Maddock’s Horror Universe as Shaakhchuni Character

Bollywood star Deepika Padukone might soon enter Maddock Films’ popular horror-comedy universe, known as the Streeverse. Recent reports suggest she could play a character called Shaakhchuni in upcoming films.
The Streeverse started with the hit movie “Stree” and has grown to include films like “Bhediya” and “Munjya.” These movies connect through supernatural stories rooted in Indian folklore. The universe continues expanding with “Stree 2” becoming a massive success recently.
Shaakhchuni is reportedly based on Bengali folklore about a female spirit. This character could add another layer to Maddock’s interconnected horror world. If confirmed, Deepika would join actors like Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, and Varun Dhawan who are already part of this cinematic universe.
However, Maddock Films hasn’t officially confirmed Deepika’s involvement yet. The production house is known for keeping its projects under wraps until official announcements. Fans are excited about the possibility of seeing Deepika in this genre, as she hasn’t done many horror-comedy films before.
The Streeverse has become one of Indian cinema’s most successful franchises, mixing scares with humor while celebrating local legends. Adding a superstar like Deepika could take the universe to new heights. Audiences are eagerly waiting for official news about this exciting potential collaboration.
