Here is the breakdown of the latest update on this universe-building project.
The Casting: Not Just a "Love Interest" ❤️
The Role: While Vishal Jethwa plays the romantic interest to Aneet Padda’s character, reports suggest his role goes far beyond the typical "hero."
Insiders describe his character as a "catalyst and counterpoint" to the protagonist's journey, requiring the intense emotional depth Jethwa is known for.
The Lead: Aneet Padda plays the central character, described in teasers as the "creator, destroyer, and mother of all." She reportedly stepped into the role after Kiara Advani exited the project in late 2025.
Production Details 🎬
Director: The film is reportedly helmed by Ajitpal Singh (known for the acclaimed series Tabbar).
Filming: The team is set to start shooting in March 2026.
Release Date: The film is slated for a Christmas release, hitting theaters on December 24, 2026.
SantaBanta Verdict: Maddock Films is betting big on young talent. Pairing the intensity of Vishal Jethwa with the fresh energy of Aneet Padda (fresh off her success in Saiyaara) is a bold move. If the "Horror-Comedy" tag holds true, expect this love story to have some terrifying twists!
