Flashback: Shraddha Kapoor once dubbed Hrithik Roshan as the ‘hottest Jaanu of Bollywood’ alongside Aditya Roy Kapur
Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur are one of the most beloved on-screen pairs in the industry, having starred together in films like Aashiqui 2 and OK Jaanu. Let’s take a look back at the moment when Shraddha, who is preparing for the release of her horror comedy Stree 2, referred to Hrithik Roshan as the ‘hottest Jaanu of Bollywood’ alongside Aditya.
Released in 2017, Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur’s movie OK Jaanu was a romantic drama directed by Shaad Ali. It is a remake of Mani Ratnam’s Tamil movie O Kadhal Kanmani. Despite not performing well at the box office, OK Jaanu received praise for the chemistry between Shraddha and Aditya.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama during the promotions of OK Jaanu, Shraddha was asked who could be the hottest Jaanu of Bollywood apart from Aditya Roy Kapur. She promptly named Hrithik Roshan, often referred to as the Greek God of Hindi cinema due to his handsome looks and charming personality.
Shraddha Kapoor’s upcoming film Stree 2 is set to release on August 15, 2024, on the Independence Day holiday. It is the sequel to the 2018 movie Stree and is part of the supernatural universe created by Maddock Films.
Stree 2 will see Shraddha Kapoor in the lead role alongside Rajkummar Rao, with Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana in key roles. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film’s trailer has been released, offering a glimpse of the mix of comedy and horror that awaits the audience. Several songs from the soundtrack have also been released.
Aaj Ki Raat is a dance number featuring Tamannaah Bhatia in a special appearance as Shama. Aayi Nai is another energetic track showcasing the chemistry between Shraddha and Rajkummar, while Tumhare Hi Rahenge Hum is a soulful romantic song.
Stree 2 will face competition at the box office from Khel Khel Mein starring Akshay Kumar and Taapsee Pannu, as well as Vedaa starring John Abraham and Sharvari.
