Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik, is the much-anticipated sequel to the 2018 critically acclaimed horror comedy Stree. Kaushik, who had specific actors in mind for the characters, found his ideal cast in Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, and Shraddha Kapoor.

The film, which hit screens on August 15, has already grossed over Rs 500 crore in India, showcasing its box office success. The sequel, penned by Niren Bhatt and produced by Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films, reprises original cast members Abhishek Banerjee as Jana and Aparshakti Khurana as Bittu, alongside a cameo by Bollywood star Akshay Kumar.

Kaushik's casting decisions were often based on instinct and personal connections. For instance, he knew Rajkummar Rao would be perfect for Vicky from the beginning, and Pankaj Tripathi agreed to the role without even reading the script. With scripting for the third installment already complete, fans can eagerly anticipate more from the Stree universe.
