Maddock Announced Shakti Shalini Release Date With Aneet Padda In Cast
Moments before the premiere of Thamma in theaters, a video package from Maddock Films appeared on the big screens. It revealed that Shakti Shalini will be hitting theaters on December 24, 2026. Furthermore, Dinesh Vijan confirmed that Aneet Padda will be part of the film in the lead role. The video promo remarked on the character as ‘The Protector,’ ‘The Destroyer,’ and ‘The Mother Of All.’
Also, the message appeared that Shakti will be unleashed in theaters, which seems to be the tag line of the movie. The viewers also can’t stop sharing their reactions on the internet, and everyone seems excited for this project.
Aneet Padda already gained huge fame from the audience after her impressive performance in Saiyaara. Now, it will be interesting to see how she will gear up for this next big project.
What’s Next In The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe?
Dinesh Vijan has built a phenomenal horror-comedy cinematic universe, starting with the widely acclaimed Stree. Since then, he has expanded the universe with films like Bhediya and Munjya, introducing memorable characters along the way. The latest addition is Thamma, and next up is Shakti Shalini, touted as the next superpowered heroine following Stree.
Following the release of Shakti Shalini next year, MHCU will bring Bhediya 2 to the silver screens. It will be followed by Chamunda, Stree 3, Maha Munjya, Pehla Mahayudh, and lastly, Doosara Mahayudh.
All these films will conclude this Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. However, later a potential spin-off is possible to happen depending upon the Maddock films.
