Akshay Kumar In Stree 2
A source close to the development told Hindustan Times that the OG Khiladi will make a surprise entry in the horror comedy 'Stree 2' which will be released on August 15, 2024.
"Yes it’s true. Akshay has a cameo in the Rajkummar Rao- Shraddha Kapoor starrer. The makers felt his comedy timing is impeccable, and his presence even for a few minutes will elevate that particular sequence," HT quoted the source as saying.
While the plot of 'Stree 2' is in wraps, Kumar's cameo will surely create a storm of reactions in his comedy avatar in a horror film.
'Stree 2' has already created enough buzz with its recently released teaser that was attached to 'Munjya' from the same universe. Filmmaker Amar Kaushik, who has been quite thrilled with the response, also spoke about the possibility of a sequel.
On Stree 3
In an interaction with Hindustan Times, Kaushik said, "here is a possibility” and added, “there’s story still left to be told and characters left to be explored. A call will be taken after the film’s [Stree 2] release. There is a possibility of Stree 3, 4 and 5. But we first have to see how much the audiences accept the upcoming film.” He adds, “As for me, if there is a demand, if I’m asked, I will make [Stree 3]. But, I won’t make it just for the sake of it. There should be demand [from the audience]. Story mere paas hain, demand ayegi toh main bana dunga.”
