‘Shakti Salini’ is 6th film of Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. Before this, Maddock has made ‘Stree’, ‘Stree2’, ‘Bhediya’, ‘Munjya’, and ‘Thamma’.

It was confirmed last year that Aneeth Padda will be seen as the lead actress in the Shakti Shalini film, which will be the next big chapter in the Maddock Horror Universe. A glimpse of his character was shown in the post-credits scene of Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Thama, which was released in theatres on 21 October 2025.
Vineet Kumar will be Villain
In addition to Aneet and Vishal, Vineet Kumar Singh also plays a key role in the film ‘Shakti Shalini.’ He plays a ruthless villain in the film. Vineet Kumar Singh was seen doing excellent acting in Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava and Sunny Deol’s Jaat. According to a report in Variety India, the actor has completed shooting his part.
