The launch signaled a broader shared‑universe push through a new MHCU logo plus an animated Stree spinoff announcement.

Overview

  • At a fan event at Mumbai’s Bandra Fort, Stree star Shraddha Kapoor joined producer Dinesh Vijan to unveil the trailer.
  • The footage teases cross‑universe cameos, including Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya and Sathyaraj’s exorcist from Munjya.
  • Maddock introduced the official logo for its Horror‑Comedy Universe and announced Choti Stree, a theatrical animated tie‑in to Stree.
  • Marketed as the franchise’s first ‘bloody’ love story rooted in Indian folklore, Thamma opens worldwide on October 21 under director Aditya Sarpotdar.
  • Free fan tickets for the launch via BookMyShow were snapped up within minutes, while early online reactions praised the crossovers and VFX but questioned the humor’s freshness.
