Update on Chhoti Stree

Niren told Zoom that the production of Chhoti Stree will take time as the script is yet to be locked. When asked about the animated film’s placement in the horror comedy universe’s timeline, he said, “We don’t know that yet. We’re still working on the script. It is an animated film and we don’t know how much time the production will take. Once the script is locked, we will get a clearer time frame for the film.”ALSO READ: Varun Dhawan Or Kriti Sanon?

What's Chhoti Stree?

At Thamma’s trailer launch, Shraddha revealed, “Guys, Maddock Horror Comedy Universe is coming out with Chhoti Stree as an animated film! It’ll be released in theatres. It’ll be a dhamaal film for kids, families, basically, for everyone,” before adding, “It’s a really exciting time for India. It really feels amazing to be a part of this universe.”Producer Dinesh Vijan shared, “Kids and adults all watch Stree together. The interesting bit about Chhoti Stree is the way Amar and Niren have conceptualised it. It’ll end with a scene from Stree 3. So, it’ll transform from an animation to a live-action movie in the end. It’ll also answer the question ki Stree ki back story kya hai (what Stree’s back story is). It’ll arrive 6 months before Stree 3.”Stree 3 is scheduled to release in theatres in August 2027, after Thamma (October 21), Shakti Shalini (tentatively 2026), Bhediya 2 (2026) and Chamunda (2026).
