Stree 2 writer on the film
Stree 2 writer Niren Bhatt spoke about the film in an interview with news agency PTI, “People have been asking for the film for six years, but we don't dwell much into expectations. Some people complain that there is a lot of humour but less horror or vice versa but these are not horror films where actual ghosts are haunting people.”
He also added, "All our ghosts are fallacies of our society. Sarkata is the most warped form of patriarchy. Stree is the symbol of matriarchy, she is not a witch. Bhediya is the protector of the forests. We have designed these characters in a certain way. We are not talking about hocus pocus or spirits out of the blue."
About Stree, Stree 2
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. The new film brings back the original star cast of Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, Pankaj Tripathi, and Aparshakti Khurana. Akshay Kumar and Varun Dhawan have special cameos in the film.
