A sequel of the Varun Dhawan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer Badlapur (2015) may be in the works.

On August 21, Prime Video India announced a multi-year post-theatrical licensing deal with Maddock Films, securing worldwide exclusive streaming rights to upcoming titles from the Indian production house.

The list features Badlapur 2. It's unclear whether the film will feature a new cast or if Dhawan and Siddiqui will reprise their roles.

"The slate also includes the highly anticipated Sidharth Malhotra, Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Param Sundari that premieres in theatres on 29th August 2025, as well as Shiddat 2 and Badlapur 2, expansions of two highly successful franchises," according to a statement.

The broader licensing collaboration also includes the Sriram Raghavan-directed Ikkis starring Agastya Nanda, in addition to several other films to be announced soon.

"We've always believed in telling stories that surprise, entertain, and resonate--and in working with partners who share that belief," Dinesh Vijan, CEO & founder, Maddock Films, said.

"This strategic long-term post-theatrical licensing deal is a natural extension of our shared vision: to take Indian storytelling to a truly global stage."

Manish Menghani, director & head of content licensing of Prime Video India, also opened up about the "strategic collaboration".

"This multi-film slate not only builds on the unique and wildly popular horror-comedy universe and franchise sequels but also brings in a distinctive blend of creative originality and fresh storytelling that is synonymous with Maddock. We look forward to entertaining our customers with the post-theatrical premieres of some of India's most eagerly awaited films," he said.

Rashmika Mandanna and Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Thama will also be out on Prime Video after its theatrical release later this year. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the movie is billed as the first love story in Maddock's horror comedy universe.
