Dinesh Vijan on Arabian Nights adaptation
In an interview to Variety, Dinesh mentioned, “The new purchasing power, the new India needs stories, which are within India. The next phase of what we want to try and do is, we want to up the ante, we still want to make stories which are powerful, but if you have to go in theaters, we need to make them larger.”
Horror comedy universe
Maddock Films is already constructing a horror comedy universe with Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana reprising their roles from Amar Kaushik’s 2018 blockbuster, and Bhediya 2, starring Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, reprising their roles from Amar’s creature comedy final yr. The two worlds will quickly merge, as hinted at by Amar within the climax and post-credit tune, Thumkeshwari, of Bhediya.

Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, a small-town romantic comedy starring Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan in lead roles, is on the verge of crossing ₹70 crore on the Indian field workplace in its third week, regardless of competitors from the epic journey movie Adipurush.
