“Who needs superheroes when you have super spooks?”

3. Bhediya 2 (August 2026)
“Varun Dhawan is back—and he’s howling mad!”
The much-anticipated sequel to the 2022 blockbuster Bhediya will see Varun Dhawan returning as the lovable werewolf. With more laughs, spectacular VFX, and a plot that dives deeper into the werewolf mythology, Bhediya 2 is set to leave audiences in splits and chills.
4. Chamunda (December 2026)
