‘Stree 2’ is directed by Amar Kaushik. Also, actor Varun Dhawan has a special cameo in the film. So, as per the audience’s reviews so far, ‘Stree 2’ is considered “full paisa vasool”.
On Wednesday, the ‘Stree’ team descended upon Delhi to promote the film, turning the city into a hotspot of vibrant discussions and a star-studded event.
During a press conference, Shraddha who reprises her role in the sequel, shared her thoughts on the film’s empowering theme.
Reflecting on the phrase “Wo Stree hai, wo kuch bhi kar sakti hai,” Kapoor expressed, “Ek stree ke liye dusri ‘stree’ ka pyar hi sabse bada hota hai (For a woman, the love of another ‘woman’ is the greatest of all). I think women empower women in the most powerful way. Being a woman in itself is a superpower, and having a film like ‘Stree’ named after this concept is incredibly empowering.”
Shraddha, who is also keen on selecting unique and memorable roles, added, “I want to do films that make me feel like I haven’t done this before. Films like ‘Stree’ are special because they are memorable. I aim to be part of projects that resonate and leave a lasting impression.”
‘Stree 2’ faces box office clash with ‘Khel Khel Mein’ and ‘Vedaa’. (ANI)
