Earlier, the makers teased fans with a teaser of ‘Stree 2,’ hinting at the chaos about to descend on Chanderi. The teaser featured Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkumar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee reprising their roles.
The surprise addition of Tamannaah Bhatia also sparked excitement, although her role remains undisclosed. With the return of the vengeful Stree, the cast reunites for another thrilling adventure. Fans especially focused on Shraddha Kapoor’s thick braid, severed from Stree’s head in the first film, which left her identity a mystery.
The original 2018 film revolved around a mysterious witch named ‘Stree’ who abducted men at night, leaving only their clothes behind. To stop her reign of terror, key characters joined forces to resolve the town’s plight. With the success of its predecessor and the mounting anticipation for the sequel, ‘Stree 2’ aims to be a commercial triumph.
Meanwhile, ‘Welcome’ star Akshay Kumar gears up for a comeback with ‘Khel Khel Mein’ and now, his confirmed cameo in ‘Stree’ sets him up for a dual release. Both films will hit the screens alongside John Abraham and Sharvari Wagh’s ‘Vedaa,’ promising an exhilarating Independence Day box office battle.
