Maddock Films banner is working on creating a horror-comedy universe. This will include their forthcoming venture, Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana as the leads.
Following the success of Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan starrer Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, Maddock Films has decided to work on the desi adaptation of Arabian Nights. If the reports are to be believed, the film will be based on the epic tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and standalone projects on Aladdin and Sinbad. Very few details about the project have been revealed. Producer Dinesh Vijan said in an interview that Maddock Films will continue to make stories that are “powerful.”
An Arabian Nights adaptation
During a recent interaction with Variety, Dinesh Vijan from Maddock Films opened up on the matter saying, “The new purchasing power, the new India needs stories, which are within India. The next phase of what we want to try and do is, we want to up the ante, we still want to make stories which are powerful, but if you have to go in theatres, we need to make them larger.” Further tit-bits regarding the cinematic adaptation of Arabian Nights like the cast and crew will be unveiled only in the future.
