An exciting news for all, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is part of the Stree + Maddock horror-comedy universe. Months after the actor made a surprise cameo appearance in Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2, producer Dinesh Vijan has confirmed that Kumar is very much part of the universe.
The exciting piece of news was confirmed during the trailer launch event of Sky Force on Sunday (Jan 5).
At the trailer launch, Vijan, who is also the producer of the Sky Force, was asked about whether Akshay will be seen in more films from the horror universe.
Replying to this, the producer said: “Of course! You didn’t see the last shot (in ‘Stree 2’) He’s our Thanos,” said Vijan.

In Stree 2, Akshay plays the role of the last living member of the villain Sarkata’s bloodline, who happens to be the head of a mental asylum. With Vijan’s new statement, it’s clear that Akshay will make an appearance in Maddocks’s horror universe. However, it remains uncertain whether he will get a standalone film, or will he play the role of a supervillain in Stree 3.
When asked about his appearance on Maddock’s supernatural universe during the trailer launch, Akshay refrained from commenting, saying that everything lies on the producers.
“He (Vijan) will speak or she (Jyoti Deshpande, Jio Studios) will speak. She has to put in money, he has to produce and he (Kaushik) has to direct,” he added.
