The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe is gearing up for an exciting new chapter, and this time, it’s animated. At the trailer launch event of Thamma, actor Shraddha Kapoor revealed that the franchise’s upcoming film, Chhoti Stree, will play a crucial role in setting the stage for Stree 3, including revealing Stree’s much-speculated backstory.

Shraddha Kapoor talks about Stree 3

Calling Chhoti Stree her favourite part of the franchise, Shraddha shared her excitement: “When Dinoo (Dinesh Vijan) told me about it, I said, Sach mein aapka naam Dinesh Vision hi hona chahiye! (“When Dinoo (Dinesh Vijan) told me about it, I said, ‘Seriously, your name really should be Dinesh Vision’)”. The film, she revealed, will be a theatrical animated feature meant for kids, families, and fans of the franchise alike.

But the biggest surprise came from producer Dinesh Vijan, who confirmed that Chhoti Stree isn’t just a fun spinoff, but it’s a narrative bridge to Stree 3. “The most exciting part is that Chhoti Stree will end with a scene from Stree 3. It’ll transition from animation to live-action, and also answer the question, Stree ki backstory kya hai? (What is Stree’s backstory),” he said.

Set to release six months before Stree 3, Chhoti Stree promises both laughs and lore, making it a vital part of Maddock Films’ most ambitious horror-comedy storytelling experiment to date.

About Stree franchise

The Stree franchise has proven to be a major commercial success for Maddock Films, establishing a strong foothold in the horror-comedy genre. The first film, Stree (2018), starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, was made on a modest budget of around ₹20 crore and went on to earn over ₹180 crore worldwide.

Building on that success, Stree 2 has surpassed all expectations, grossing over ₹801.15 crore worldwide in just 35 days, according to box office reports. Alongside spin-offs like Roohi and Bhediya, the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe has now amassed a cumulative gross well over ₹1,000 crore, cementing its status as one of India’s most successful genre franchises.

Meanwhile, Thamma, which stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in pivotal roles, will be released on October 21.

Sujeeth’s gangster film They Call Him OG is releasing in theatres on 25 September with paid premieres on the evening of 24 September. The film, starring Pawan Kalyan, Emraan Hashmi (in his Telugu debut) and Priyanka Mohan, has been rated A by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) rated the film 15 for ‘strong bloody violence, injury detail’. Know all the inside details.

Pawan Kalyan plays a former gangster called Ojas Gambheera in they Call Him OG.

What is They Call Him OG’s story?

Not much is known about OG other than that Pawan plays the titular character Ojas Gambheera, who comes out of retirement when crime goes up in Mumbai unchecked. Emraan plays a gangster called Omi Bhau while Priyanka plays OG’s wife, Kanmani.

The BBFC described the film as: “In this action thriller, a former mob boss is drawn out of peaceful retirement when the activities of rival gangs put him on a path of revenge.” Arjun Das, Prakash Raj, Sriya Reddy and others also play key roles in the film.

How violent is They Call Him OG?

BBFC rated OG high for violence due to “prolonged scenes of strong violence feature shootings, stabbings and slashings with bladed weapons, throat-cuttings, decapitation and dismemberment, and heavy blows, all of which are accompanied by extensive bloodshed. There is strong bloody injury detail in the aftermath of violence, including sight of severed heads and limbs.”

There are also scenes including the abduction of a young child at gunpoint, a man’s head being held underwater, and another man being told his fingers will be cut off unless he gives information. The film also features ‘strong language’ including the words f**k, c***t, c*****ya, bugger, saala, bloody, a*****e, screw, freaking hell and damn, according to the website. A scene where cocaine snorting is implied is also mentioned.

OG also seems to involve a scene with a sex trafficking gang, as the website points out, “A group of women are seen in an intimidated state as they are rescued from captivity at the hands of a sex trafficking gang.” A ‘mildly upsetting’ scene entered on bereavement is also mentioned.
