- The film is positioned as the next chapter in Maddock Films’ connected Horror Comedy Universe, following Padda’s on-screen introduction in a Thamma post-credits scene on October 21, 2025.
- Production began in Mumbai last month and is now rolling on a large set in Madh Island that depicts a small town in West Bengal.

- The release is officially set for December 24, 2026, though outlets report the team may shift the date to steer clear of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s King.
