“Unstoppable Triumph: ‘Stree 2’ Shatters Records, ‘Stree 3’ Announced Amidst Box Office Frenzy”
After the massive success of ‘Stree 2’, starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, the film has left an indelible mark at the box office since its release on Independence Day 2024. Given its tremendous impact, the creators have announced that a third installment, ‘Stree 3’, is already in the works. However, Rajkummar Rao’s wife, Patralekhaa, has decided not to join the cast. During an interview with Filmygyan, Patralekhaa expressed her admiration for the on-screen chemistry between Rajkummar and Shraddha, stating, “No, Shraddha hai. Unki jodi bahut mast hai. Abhishek hai, Apar hai, Pankaj, wo world set hai.”
‘Stree 2’ continued the spine-chilling events in the town of Chanderi and featured a stellar cast including Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Pankaj Tripathi, all reprising their beloved roles. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film turned out to be an even bigger hit than its predecessor, surpassing the lifetime box office collections of Sunny Deol’s ‘Gadar 2’ and Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’ with a whopping Rs 586 crore in the domestic market.
In parallel, Patralekhaa recently starred in the limited series ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’, where she gained critical acclaim for her role as air hostess Indrani. Released on August 29, the series, directed by Anubhav Sinha, features an impressive cast that includes Vijay Varma, Dia Mirza, Naseeruddin Shah, Kumud Mishra, Pankaj Kapur, Pooja Gor, and Amrita Puri. The storyline is inspired by the real events surrounding the infamous hijacking incident.
As anticipation builds for ‘Stree 3,’ the box office is set for a thrilling competition among upcoming releases like ‘Khel Khel Mein’ and ‘Vedaa’. The question remains: who will dominate the Independence Day box office next?
