Several months after Rohit Shetty had first revealed to mid-day that he hoped to create a world that's akin to Marvel's Avengers - even getting his Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgn) to make a cameo in Ranveer Singh's Simmba - another filmmaker has followed suit.
Dinesh Vijan tells mid-day that the success of his thriller comedy Stree (2018) has him visualise a similar set-up. "We want to create an entire universe in the horror-comedy [space], and that can happen when we have enough characters, like The Avengers did," Vijan says as he chronicles his upcoming slate of films that will introduce a bevy of characters.
