Aditya Sarpotdar on his approach to the horror universe

Aditya Sarpotdar says his horror universe films prioritize the 90% general audience over the 10% who track every detail.

Building franchises brings expectations, unlike starting fresh, he notes.

With 'Shakti Shalini,' his third film after 'Munjya' and 'Thama,' reinvention is key.

'Shakti Shalini' stars Aneet Padda, Nana Patekar, Vishal Jethwa and Seema Biswas.

The film is slated to release during Christmas 2026.
