Mumbai, June 19 - Shraddha Kapoor-fronted "Stree" was a huge hit at the box office upon its release in 2018. The movie opened the door to producer Dinesh Vijan's horror-comedy universe which includes "Roohi" and the upcoming "Bhediya". And now, the prequel to "Stree" is reportedly in the development at the Maddock Films studio.

Shraddha Kapoor has been shooting for Luv Ranjan's untitled romantic comedy with Ranbir Kapoor since January 2021. The movie is in the final leg of the shoot and will be wrapped up soon. According to Peepingmoon.com, Shraddha's next after Luv Ranjan's film will be the prequel to "Stree", which will go on floors in August this year.



Dinesh Vijan is working on multiple horror comedies and plans to build a cinematic universe around them. After Stree, Roohi, and Bhediya, the team is now working to expand the universe. Vijan's next film in the MHCU tells the backstory of the girl who came to Stree and the complications she brought along. It's a prequel to 'Stree' and will see Shraddha reprising her role from the 2018 sleeper hit", read the report.

The report further states that the prequel of "Stree" will be directed by Marathi filmmaker Aditya Sarpotdar, who has also directed Sonakshi Sinha, and Riteish Deshmukh's "Kakuda", which is also a horror-comedy film. The movie is currently in the post-production work and will soon be ready to release, and after that, the director will start Shraddha's film.

Shraddha Kapoor was supposed to begin the "Naagin" trilogy with director Vishal Furia. However, the movie has reportedly been pushed to December this year as it is a VFX-heavy film that requires more time in the pre-production work. Meanwhile, Shraddha and Ranbir's film with Luv Ranjan will be released on the occasion of Holi 2023.
