The announcement of “Stree 2’s” release date was made on Maddock Films’ official Instagram page, generating a buzz among fans.

The journey of “Stree 2” has been eagerly tracked by fans and media alike. In October 2018, director Amar Kaushik confirmed plans for the sequel. By February 2022, Rajkummar Rao had also confirmed that the project was in development. Pre-production kicked off in March 2023, with filming beginning in July of the same year. Initially slated for a late August release, the date was later moved to August 15, 2024.
Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Jyoti Deshpande under the Maddock Films and Jio Studios banners, “Stree 2” is the fifth installment in the Maddock Supernatural Universe. This interconnected series of films has captivated audiences with its mix of supernatural elements and quirky humor.
With a stellar cast and a promising storyline, “Stree 2” is poised to be a major hit. Fans are counting down the days until they can return to the eerie yet amusing world that Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, and their co-stars brought to life in the first film. As the release date approaches, anticipation is reaching a fever pitch, and the clash with other major releases only adds to the excitement. August 15 is shaping up to be a memorable day for Bollywood fans.
