‘Stree 2’ has become the most successful Hindi movie of 2024 and fans are eagerly waiting for its next part. The movie surprised the audience with an epic cameo by Akshay Kumar and has set the actor as the possible villain in future horror-universe projects. After seeing Akshay, fans also compared his role to Marvel’s supervillain Thanos. Shraddha Kapoor, who played Stree’s daughter, has now confirmed that director Amar Kaushik has a script ready for ‘Stree 3’. After this announcement, fans have demanded for Akshay Kumar’s full-fledged role in ‘Stree 3’ and other movies in the horror universe.
For the unversed, Akshay played the role of the descendant of Sarkata, the main villain in ‘Stree 2’. At first, his cameo was limited to providing comic relief but it was later shown that Akshay might become the antagonist in future instalments of ‘Stree’. See how fans have demanded for a big role for the ‘Hera Pheri’ star.
Meanwhile, talking about ‘Stree 3’, Shraddha said at a recent event, “When Amar sir told me he had a story for Stree 3, I got very excited because I know it’s going to be something amazing. I can’t wait to hear what it’s about.”
She also talked about her first reaction after hearing the script of ‘Stree’ in 2018. The actress shared, “When I heard the first part, I felt I hadn’t come across a script like that before. It was based on an urban legend and I literally fell off the sofa while listening to it. I was so glad that they came to me. It was pure entertainment – I laughed at the dialogues and the scenes, and I loved playing this mysterious girl who comes and goes.”
Reflecting on the success of ‘Stree 2’, she added, “The kind of love and accolades the first part received were immense. It all started there. Hats off to the director, writer and producer for cracking a sequel. It’s important not to make a sequel just for the sake of it – you need substance to bring people to theatres and earn genuine appreciation. They stayed true to how a sequel should be made and cracked the story of Stree 2. It had all the entertainment factors, brilliant actors and really entertaining dialogues. I believe it was a fabulous team effort. It was pure cinematic joy.”
Apart from Shraddha Kapoor, the movie also stars Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurrana and Pankaj Tripathi. Varun Dhawan and Tamannaah Bhatia were also seen in the cameo roles.
