'Stree 2' to release on Independence Day
Stree 2 is scheduled to release on Independence Day (August 15, 2024), marking the return of Kapoor as the "Girl with no name" and Rao as Vicky. The film also features Tamannaah Bhatia in a pivotal role and a special appearance by Varun Dhawan, reprising his role from Bhediya.
'Stree 2' plot revolves around a new monster
Stree 2 introduces a new monster, a headless demon named Sarkate, who kidnaps women from Chanderi. The lead cast is tasked with devising a plan to defeat Sarkate. The trailer revealed that this headless monster is the reason Stree turned into an angry spirit haunting men. The film has received a U/A rating and has a runtime of two hours and 29 minutes.
'Stree 2' expected to dominate box office
Stree 2 is set to clash with Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham's Vedaa at the box office. However, trade experts predict that Stree 2 will emerge as the biggest winner on Independence Day. "Stree 2 will have a landslide win. It's a one-sided situation. It almost feels like a solo film is releasing," said trade guru Atul Mohan.
