If you are a fan of multi-starrer films, there is an exciting piece of news waiting for you. Buzz has it that well-known filmmaker Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films is planning to create a horror universe that will feature Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Kriti Sanon, and Janhvi Kapoor on the ensemble cast. Yes, you read that absolutely right!
For the uninitiated, Vijan has already produced two horror-comedy films – Stree (2018) and Roohi (2021) – under his banner. He is now gearing up to bankroll yet another film in the same genre, titled Bhediya. It stars Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon. We hear that there will be some sort of crossover between the three films.
A source in the know told a publication, “There are some major plans already in place and they are under execution. Stree has already released, Roohi is now arriving soon, Bhediya is going on floors and Munjha too will begin shoot soon. These are all the films belonging to the horror genre and a universe is being put together by the writers where there are some common connects explored.”
Meanwhile, Dinesh Vijan is awaiting the release of his next production offering Roohi, which stars Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in lead roles. The horror-comedy film, directed by Hardik Mehta, is on the calendar for 11th March, 2021. The film was originally slated to release in June 2020, but the Coronavirus pandemic in India interrupted production and the makers had to put its release on hold.
Apart from Roohi, Maddock Films’ slate of upcoming movies also includes such films as Mimi, Shiddat, Bhediya, Hum Do Humare Do, Luka Chuppi Phir Se, and Arun Kheterpal biopic.

Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.

The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
