Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao are set to headline the much-anticipated sequel, Stree 2, scheduled for release on August 15.
Shraddha Kapoor Returns with Stree 2
Shraddha Kapoor, reprising her role from the original Stree that introduced the Maddock Supernatural Universe, has revealed a chilling new poster for the upcoming horror-comedy. Sharing the poster on her Instagram, she teased fans with a caption that hinted at the film’s eerie theme.
In the newly released poster, a mysterious figure in black is depicted from behind, gripping a long ponytail emitting lightning bolts. Above them looms another shadowy figure, cloaked and unidentified, against the backdrop of an ancient, haunted fortress.
Accompanying the supernatural imagery, Shraddha Kapoor’s caption read, “Kaali taaqat se sabki raksha karne woh aa rahi hai bas 2 din mein (She is coming to protect everyone from the dark powers in just two days)!” She punctuated the message with ghost and monster emojis, adding, “#Stree2 Trailer Out In 2 Days! The legend returns this Independence Day, 15th August 2024.”
Continuing the Supernatural Universe
Stree 2 picks up from its predecessor’s cliffhanger, where Shraddha Kapoor’s character was last seen with the ominous ponytail linked to the malevolent spirit. Maddock Films’ supernatural universe has expanded to include Roohi (2021), Bhediya (2022), and Munjya (2024), with interconnected narratives and characters making brief appearances across films.
Stellar Cast and Director
Apart from Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, Stree 2 features Abhishek Banerjee, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and others in pivotal roles. Directed by Amar Kaushik, known for his adeptness in blending horror and comedy, the film promises to deliver spine-chilling entertainment on Independence Day.
As anticipation mounts for Stree 2’s release, fans eagerly await the trailer’s unveiling, poised to witness the continuation of a supernatural saga that has captured imaginations and chilled spines alike. Stay tuned for more updates as the legend returns to cinemas on August 15, 2024.
