Shraddha Kapoor: The Glue Holding the Universe Together?
If these rumors are true, this could mean that Shraddha Kapoor isn’t just reprising her role as Stree, but she could also be making guest appearances, cameos, or even playing different characters in every film. Fans are divided—while some are excited about her being the central figure of this universe, others feel it might be overkill.
One fan tweeted: “Shraddha Kapoor is to Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe what Nick Fury was to the MCU. 😂 Love it!”
Another commented: “Yawn. Boring. We need fresh faces too!”
