Maddock’s New Heroine Aneet Padda Makes a Grand Entrance!

Maddock Horror Comedy Universe’s new film, Shakti Shalini, starring Aneet Padda and Ayushmann Khurrana, release date 2026.

A Surprise Was Hidden in Thamma’s End Credits!

Friends, it seems Maddock Films isn’t stopping the surprises even after Diwali! We were still enjoying Abhay (Munjya) and Thamma when a surprise was hidden in the end credits of Thamma, which was released in October.

A teaser appeared with the text – “The protector. The destroyer. The mother of all.”

And then came a new face – Aneet Padda, whom we know from the film ‘Saiyaara’, who will now lead the next film in the MHCU, ‘Shakti Shalini’! Fans are completely thrilled.

Ayushmann Congratulates His New Co-star

On this new news, MHCU’s own Ayushmann Khurrana also gave Aneet a fantastic welcome on social media. He wrote, “Welcome to the MHCU, @aneetpadda_ 🫶 Punjabi aa gaye oye!!”

He said that he is also happy as a Punjabi, and he feels proud to see Aneet moving forward.

Aneet also gave a sweet reply, welcoming him by saying, “Khurrana ji da munda…”

“I Jumped with Joy After Watching the Trailer in the Office!”

Ayushmann also shared a funny anecdote. He said that Aneet messaged him as soon as she saw the trailer of Thamma in producer Dinesh Vijan’s office, saying, “I’m so excited for Thamma!”

Ayushmann said that both of them come from small towns in Punjab, and he is even happier that a new Punjabi talent is becoming a part of this universe.

2026 Will Bring ‘Shakti’ – Get Ready!

Now, talking about the film, ‘Shakti Shalini’ is planned for release on December 24, 2026. The teaser clearly shows that Aneet will be playing a powerful, mythological-type role.

Maddock’s signature style – a perfect mix of humor, horror, and a social message – will also be visible in this film. So friends, it seems that MHCU will continue to entertain us even after Thamma.

We will have to wait a little to see Aneet Padda’s ‘shakti’, but we promise it will be worth it!
