This horror-comedy sequel, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has not only captured the audience’s attention but also received rave reviews. With the film’s success, many fans are already curious about the next chapter in the franchise, ‘Stree 3’.

In a recent interview with ANI, Kaushik shared his thoughts on the timeline for the third installment. Reflecting on the production of ‘Stree 2’, which took six years from the original ‘Stree’ released in 2018, he revealed that fans will have to wait at least three years for ‘Stree 3’. “I think it (Stree 2) was made in six years from the first (film). However, it won’t take six years; it will take at least three years,” he said, setting realistic expectations for eager viewers.

The director also addressed the buzz around Akshay Kumar’s cameo in ‘Stree 2’ and whether he will reprise his role in the third installment. Kaushik emphasized that the decision will ultimately depend on the storyline. “If the script demands his presence, then he will be seen; otherwise, he won’t be a part of it,” he explained.
