Shraddha Kapoor’s Name To Akshay Kumar As Sarkata’s Descendant, Stree 2 Writer Teases Next Film
'Stree 2', starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, towers over the other five highest-grossing movies of all time as the lone non-action movie.
'Stree 2', starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, has been dominating the box office since its release in theatres. Amar Kaushik’s horror comedy towers over the other five highest-grossing movies of all time as the lone non-action movie. Now, in a new interview, the writer of the film, Niren Bhatt, has shared details about the climax of the film and teased the upcoming installment.
Stree 2 Sarkata's origin story
During an interview with Indian Express, Bhatt talked about the origin story of Sarkata, the antagonist of ‘Stree 2’. He said, “If you remember there’s a cave in part one, where they cut the braid of Stree. Inside the caves, there are some murals and in one of them, Stree’s headless lover is shown. We didn’t know if it was by accident, or whether it was headless because these are old statues. From there we thought, we could use this and take it forward. If he’s Stree’s lover, he’s the victim and can’t be the villain.”
“Then we thought when the prostitute became a witch, the first thing she would do was kill the person who chopped the head off her lover! We thought what if that guy is the powerful chief of Chanderi, which derives its name from his name Chandraban,” he added.
Akshay Kumar’s character in Stree 2
As the film concludes, Akshay Kumar’s character, who is a descendant of Sarkata, seems to be transforming. The cliffhanger has intrigued fans, and they are expecting the actor to have a major role in the upcoming movie. Speaking of Akshay’s character, the screenwriter said, “His character was supposed to be the descendant of Sarkata. But Akshay wasn’t there. Amar met him and Akshay was convinced after he read his scene and loved the overall story. He is displaying his classic straight-faced humour.”
The identity of Shraddha Kapoor, who plays the lead in the 'Stree' franchise, is still a mystery. When asked about her real name, Bhatt said, “We have an idea, a plan but it might change, and we might name her something else. What we were sure of was that we won’t reveal it in Stree 2. It was a good hook to end on.”
About Stree 3
Niren Bhatt also dropped a hint about ‘Stree 3’, the much-anticipated installment of the horror flick, and said, “We have grand plans for Bhediya, Munjya and Stree and now people know they all belong to the same universe. We are all introducing new characters. The next one will be a Vampire film.”
‘Stree 2’ has surpassed the mark set by ‘KGF Chapter 2’ and is now the sixth highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. In only 14 days, 'Stree 2' made a nett of Rs 435 crore.
