Makers of the upcoming horror comedy film Stree 2 on April 12, officially announced their film at a grand event in Mumbai.
Actors Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana and Abhishek Banerjee marked their presence at the event to make an official announcement of the film. Team Stree enacted a skit to announce the release date of the horror comedy sequel.
The team revealed that Stree 2 is set to release on August 31, 2024. Helmed by Amar Kaushik Stree was released in the year 2018 and was declared a blockbuster hit. Rajkummar and Aparshakti also had a cameo in Varun Dhawan's horror comedy film Bhediya which was released in November last year.
The makers of Bhediya also announced the sequel of the film. At the gala, Varun unveiled the logo of Bhediya 2. Earlier, Abhishek Banerjee also talked about the much-awaited sequel of Stree and said, “2023 is here!!! And I am very thrilled to kickstart this year, but looking back at the work I did last year- I was very nervous about JD aka Jana as it had to be similar yet difficult from ‘Stree’. But thankfully it was received well by the audience. Now the journey of ‘Stree 2’ will be super exciting.. recently I wrapped up Apurva. I’m thrilled to see how people will react to some very extreme characters. The playground is going to get bigger and better this year... so I am looking forward to it.”
Meanwhile, Rajkummar will also be seen in an upcoming sports drama film Mr and Mrs Mahi opposite Janhvi Kapoor.
National Press Day (November 16) was last week, and, as an entertainment journalist, I decided to base this column on a topic that is as personal as it is relevant — films on journalism and journalists. Journalism’s evolution has been depicted throughout the last 100-odd years thanks to pop culture, and the life and work of journalists have made for a wealth of memorable cinema.
