- He cited creative reasons for waiting, stressing the goal to avoid repetition and to let each entry feel distinct within the shared world.
- He traced the MHCU’s guiding principle to Chuck Roven’s advice to keep films “in a box” so characters can meet without changing the universe’s rules.
- The evolving slate includes Shakti Shalini (starring Aneet Padda), Bhediya 2 (with Varun Dhawan), Chamunda (reportedly with Alia Bhatt), Stree 3, Maha Munjya, Pehla Mahayudh and Doosara Mahayudh.
- Director Amar Kaushik said the team is building original mythology with an internal, continually updated crossover map, and Vijan noted growing fan theories and the possibility of future spin-offs and crossovers.
