Shraddha Kapoor, the star of the hit film “Stree 2,” is generating buzz not just for her stellar performance but also for her impending residential upgrade. According to a report by Hindustan Times, Kapoor is set to move into Hrithik Roshan’s sea-facing apartment in Mumbai’s Juhu, making her Akshay Kumar’s new neighbor. Interestingly, Kumar, who had a pivotal cameo in “Stree 2,” lives in a lavish duplex with his wife Twinkle Khanna and their children in the same building.

Initially, it was rumored that Varun Dhawan, his wife Natasha Dalal, and their daughter would be the new tenants of Roshan’s flat, but those plans fell through. Varun Dhawan also made a special appearance in “Stree 2” as Bhaskar Sharma from the Maddock Supernatural Universe film “Bhediya” (2022). Akshay Kumar’s cameo in “Stree 2” is equally intriguing; he plays a psychiatric patient in Bhopal with a lineage tied to the film’s villain, Sarkata. Kumar’s character imparts crucial information to Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee, and Pankaj Tripathi, setting up future plot twists, as hinted in the post-credits scene.

“Stree 2,” produced by Maddock Films, has turned into a blockbuster, starring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee, and Pankaj Tripathi. The film has been lauded for its exceptional box office performance, even more so on its third Monday, helped by the partial Janmashtami holiday. On its 12th day, the horror-comedy clocked Rs 17 crore, according to Sacnilk, pushing its total earnings to Rs 401.55 crore domestically and Rs 589 crore worldwide. The film stands on the brink of crossing the Rs 450-crore mark in India.

Fans are eager to see what unfolds next, both in Shraddha Kapoor’s personal and professional life, and in the evolving narrative of the “Stree” universe.

The trailer for Amar Kaushik’s much-anticipated horror-comedy sequel, “Stree 2,” was unveiled on Thursday, July 18. The film stars Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, and Pankaj Tripathi in pivotal roles. The narrative seems to pick up from where the first installment, released in 2018, concluded, immersing the audience once more in the eerie and whimsical world of Chanderi.

In this sequel, the quaint town of Chanderi is again besieged by supernatural occurrences, but unlike the first film, it is not the ghostly figure of ‘Stree’ who is behind the havoc. This time, the townspeople, including characters played by Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee, Pankaj Tripathi, and Aparshakti Khurana, face a new, terrifying adversary. The trailer also features Tamannaah Bhatia, adding to the ensemble cast.

The plot of “Stree 2” revolves around the residents of Chanderi as they confront a new and dangerous entity: a headless male monster named Sarkata. According to Rudra Bhaiya, a character played by the ever-entertaining Pankaj Tripathi, Sarkata is the arch-enemy of Stree. He has returned with a sinister agenda to brainwash the men of Chanderi, functioning in a manner akin to a contemporary ‘influencer.’

The responsibility to save Chanderi from this new threat falls on Vicky, portrayed by Rajkummar Rao, who reunites with his long-lost love, famously known for her distinctive ponytail, played by Shraddha Kapoor. Along with their friends, they embark on a mission to vanquish Sarkata and restore peace to their town.

“Stree 2,” brought to audiences by Maddock Films and Jio Studios, promises to blend horror with humor, much like its predecessor, delivering a unique cinematic experience. The film is scheduled to premiere in theaters on August 15, 2024, marking an exciting date for fans eagerly awaiting the continuation of this quirky horror-comedy saga.
