Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films have officially unveiled the visual identity and logo for the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe (MHCU). The big reveal came alongside the launch of the trailer for the universe’s next chapter, Thamma.
This move formally brands the successful franchise, cementing its place as one of Bollywood’s most ambitious cinematic universes. It signals a clear and exciting long-term vision for the world that began with the blockbuster film Stree.
A Long-Term Vision For Indian Folklore
The launch of the MHCU logo isn’t just about branding; it’s a commitment to a larger creative vision. Producer Dinesh Vijan explained the goal behind formalizing the universe, stating, “The Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe began with Stree and has grown with Bhediya and Munjya. With Thamma, we aimed to take the universe to its next stage.”
He emphasized the franchise’s dedication to its roots, adding, “For us, the goal has always been to draw inspiration from Indian folklore for our characters. It’s a forgotten Indian story we have revived. Today, with the reveal of the visual identity of the MHCU, we are committing to a long-term vision of telling Indian stories for Indian and global audiences.”
The Journey From ‘Stree’ To ‘Thamma’
The MHCU has grown organically into one of the industry’s most successful franchises. The journey started in 2018 with the phenomenal success of Stree and has since expanded with fan-favourites like Bhediya and the recent blockbuster Munjya.
The upcoming film Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, is set to be the next major step in this journey. Described as the universe’s first love story, it will serve as the launchpad for this new, branded phase of the MHCU, which promises to be “bigger, bloodier, and bolder.”
What This Means For The Fans
The official branding of the MHCU is exciting news for the audience. It confirms that the interconnected stories and characters are here to stay, opening the door for more potential crossovers, recurring characters, and a deeper, shared mythology rooted in Indian culture.
As co-producer Amar Kaushik noted, the aim is to add something new with every film while staying true to the franchise’s DNA. With a clear vision and a commitment to quality storytelling, the future of the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe looks more promising than ever.
