Rumour has it that Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani might join Maddock Films’ Horror-Comedy universe

Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films recently announced multiple horror-comedy projects for the upcoming years, and rumours say Alia and Kiara can appear in two of them.

In 2024, Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani were spotted outside filmmaker Dinesh Vijan’s office on separate occasions. Since then, rumours have been rife that the two actresses are part of Maddock Films’ horror-comedy universe.

Is Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani entering the horror-comedy universe?

Recently, Maddock Films announced its line-up of films for the forthcoming years as a New Year gift to audiences. Soon after the announcement, reports started surfacing about Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani becoming part of the production house’s horror-comedy universe in two different films, Chamunda and Shakti Shalini. Until the makers confirm the news, the report is only a rumour.
