Bhediya is a Hindi comedy horror film directed by Amar Kaushik and produced by Dinesh Vijan. Written by Niren Bhatt, the film stars Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Abhishek Banerjee, Deepak Dobriyal, and Paalin Kabak. It is the second installment in the Maddock Supernatural Universe, following Stree (2018), with Munjya serving as a prequel to Stree.

The film was shot in various locations across Arunachal Pradesh, including Ziro, Sagalee, and Pakke-Kessang, from March to April 2021. Over 70% of the film’s cast comprises actors from Arunachal Pradesh, with a lead character named Jomin. Arunachali rapper K4 Kheko contributed to the film’s theme song. Kriti Sanon’s bob-cut hairstyle was inspired by her childhood look.

During filming, Varun Dhawan and his wife, Natasha Dalal, donated ₹1 lakh to victims of a fire in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tirap and Longding districts. The Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Pema Khandu, also visited the film set in Ziro. Filming concluded on 10 July 2021.
