Actor Rajkummar Rao says they will make the sequel of his hugely acclaimed horror-comedy film Stree with the same honesty and affection they had for the original.
Also featuring Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Shraddha Kapoor, the movie turned out to be one of the most commercially-successful and critically-acclaimed films of 2018.
Stree’ is so special for all of us. Amar and I discussed that we will not make it under pressure. We will make it with the same kind of sincerity and love that we had while making part one. We will maintain the same honesty in part two, Rao told PTI on the sidelines of IIFA Rocks awards ceremony on Friday.
Stree was set in the small town of Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh, where an evil spirit named Stree’ abducts men in the night during festival season. It was based on the urban legend of Nale Ba that went viral in Karnataka in the 1990s.
Rao said the follow-up is currently under pre-production and they will begin the filming soon. “Stree 2”, produced by Dinesh Vijan and Jio Studios, will be released in August 2024.
The actor co-hosted the IIFA Rocks event last night alongside filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan and was thrilled about the gig.
