‘Stree 2’ director Amar Kaushik is on cloud nine as his film breaks records at the box office. And guess what? He already knows what’s in store for the third installment! Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao’s `Stree` was released in 2018 and was declared a hit. The phrase `Oo Stree Kal Aana`, from the movie, has been repeatedly used in memes. The film`s music also gained significant attention, with tracks like `Milegi Milegi` and `Aao Kabhi Haveli Pe`.
The storyline of ‘Stree 2’ picks up in the haunted town of Chanderi, where the evil spirit known as Sarkata wreaks havoc. Unlike the previous film, which featured a ghost targeting men, this installment focuses on a sinister entity that preys on modern, empowered women.
