Exciting Developments for Shraddha Kapoor
On May 26, 2025, Shraddha Kapoor visited Maddock Films’ office in Mumbai, stirring buzz about a possible new project. Reports suggest that the actress held a creative meeting with producer Dinesh Vijan, indicating an interesting partnership on the horizon.
An insider shared that during this meeting, Shraddha spoke with Dinesh and later joined by Laxman Uttekar, director of Chhaava. The discussions included a story that caught Shraddha’s attention, and she seemed pleased with a script they shared. If all goes well, she is likely to take the lead role in Uttekar’s next film after Chhaava.
This upcoming project is rumored to be based on a popular Marathi novel, with Shraddha portraying a character closely tied to cultural themes. Details remain mostly under wraps for now, but there’s a chance that a well-known male lead will also join the cast.
While talks are still in the early stages, the potential for this collaboration seems promising. Shraddha has worked well with Maddock Films in the past, making it likely that they will team up again. The source added that Dinesh Vijan is on a successful streak, aiming to create content that diverges from typical trends. He and Laxman are confident about the project they pitched to Shraddha, rooted deeply in Maharashtrian culture.
In addition to this film, Maddock Films is gearing up for several other big projects. They are also working on a multi-starrer movie with three leading male actors, set to begin production between 2026 and 2027.
Dinesh Vijan is riding high on success, having produced two major films that each earned over Rs 500 crores. He is also looking to expand his horror-comedy franchise, with Thama featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, scheduled to release during Diwali 2025.
Shraddha’s most recent role was in Stree 2, a horror-comedy released in 2024. She starred alongside Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Pankaj Tripathi. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film was a massive hit and became the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year.
