Amar Kaushik’s ‘Stree 2’ comes six years after the release of the first installment. The film has already joined the 500-crore club at the box office and shows no signs of slowing down. Upcoming releases in the Maddock Supernatural Universe include ‘Bhediya 2’ and ‘Stree 3.’ To put speculation to rest, director Amar Kaushik has revealed details about the highly anticipated ‘Stree 3.’

For those who might not know, Akshay Kumar had a cameo appearance in the latest instalment of the horror-comedy.

As the conversation progressed, Kaushik was asked if Akshay Kumar will be seen in the third installment. The filmmaker responded without giving a definite answer: “It depends on the script. If the story demands it, he (Akshay Kumar) would be seen. Otherwise, he won’t be.”

Meanwhile, Rajkumar Rao recently reflected on whether ‘Bhediya 2’ or ‘Stree 3’ will release first. Elaborating on his rationale, the actor explained that while ‘Stree’ has already received its second installment, ‘Bhediya’ has not. Therefore, Varun Dhawan’s ‘Bhediya 2’ may release first.
