Varun Dhawan joined Maddock’s Supernatural Universe with Bhediya in 2022. It was also directed by Amar Kaushik. Arunachal Pradesh’s folklore inspired the film’s plot about a Yapum, a shape-shifting werewolf who wants to protect the jungle. Taking inspiration from Hollywood movies, especially the comic book films of Marvel and DC, Varun’s Bhaskar appeared in Stree 2 to help Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s characters fight against the headless ghost. The connecting link between these two films was Abhishek Banerjee’s Jana. He is Bhaskar’s cousin and Vicky’s friend. Jana first appeared in 2018’s Stree.
