Stree 3 Set For A 2025 Release? 


In a chat with News18 Showsha, Rajkummar Rao provided insights into ‘Stree 3’, hinting that it may take some time before the audience gets to see the next chapter. Addressing the team’s commitment to quality, he shared,  “Stree 3 will certainly happen but not anytime soon. We won’t be making it next year for sure because we don’t want to make just a project. Sometimes, a film does well and you would want to encash on it by making a second or a third part and you end up making it in a hurry. There’s a reason why we took six years to come up with Stree 2 after the first film."

He added, “Stree 3 will also take some time but definitely not six years. Till the time Amar (Kaushik; director), the writers, Dinoo (Dinesh Vijan; producer) and the whole team don’t come up with a great story, we don’t want to rush into it. We don’t want to make a film that leads people to say that the franchise value, quality or standard is going down. We want to keep pushing our boundaries and take part three a notch above."

Speaking about his beloved character, Vicky, Rajkummar expressed,“I relate so much to Vicky’s goofiness and simplicity. There’s nothing bad in his heart. He’s so pure. At the same time, he can have a lot of fun with his friends. I’m that guy as well. But I don’t think I’ll ever fall in love with a ghost (laughs)," he joked.


This year, besides ‘Stree 2’, Rajkummar was also seen in films like ‘Srikanth’, ‘Mr & Mrs Mahi’, and ‘Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Who Wala Video’.
