The film, which had set the ticket counters ringing when other films were struggling at the box office, brought hope for Bollywood. However, a credit debate soon ensued over the film’s success.

In her response, the actress mentioned that everything started with the success of the first part of Stree. She said, “Hats off to the director, writer, and producer for cracking a sequel. It’s important not to make a sequel just for the sake of it—you need substance to bring people to theatres and earn genuine appreciation.”

In addition, the OK Jannu actress mentioned, “I believe it was a fabulous team effort. It was pure cinematic joy, And ultimately, the audience decides, right? They leave their homes seeking entertainment, and we’re happy we could deliver.”
Moving ahead, the actress was asked if the makers were planning to come up with a third part. In response, she revealed that the film’s director already has a story for it, which delighted the fans. Shraddha stated, “When Amar sir told me he had a story for Stree 3, I got very excited because I know it’s going to be something amazing. I can’t wait to hear what it’s about.”
Stree 2 is a sequel to the 2018 horror-comedy Stree, where the same lead characters reprise their roles. It is directed by Amar Kaushik and grossed more than Rs. 800 crore at the box office.
