More about the film

While Stree revolved around a female ghost, who was wronged in her mortal life, its follow-up focuses on a headless villain called Sarkata with a connection to the eponymous character. Stree 2 follows Sarkata abducting women with an independent voice. In one of the key scenes in Stree 2, Sarkata demolishes the statue of Stree, the guardian of Chanderi, to declare the beginning of his reign.

Amar Kaushik on Stree 2's success

The filmmaker told PTI in a recent interview, "We had a party and enjoyed too much. We were confident that the film was good but we didn't expect that it would get these big numbers... I’m sleep deprived. I barely slept, so first I’ll sleep and then I’ll start thinking of my next movie."

He said he was involved with the story of Stree 2 right from day one. Amar said, "We worked on the script of Stree for four to five months and for Stree 2, we sat for almost two and a half years. We started work on it before we began work on Bhediya. We were thinking about how to take the world of Stree ahead, and how to bring all of them together (cameo of Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan). We had written 16 drafts."
