Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao-starrer `Stree 2` opened with an impressive response from the audience at the Box Office. While the film empowers women, in reality, the film’s female lead took home less money than her male co-star. According to a report by ABP News, Rao and Shraddha were the highest-paid actors in the sequel with the former earning Rs 6 crore while the latter got Rs 5 crore.
Meanwhile, a report by The Free Press Journal suggests that Pankaj Tripathi took home Rs 3 crore, Aparshakti Khurana got Rs 70 lakh and Abhishek Banerjee charged Rs 55 lakh. Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan who made a cameo as ‘Bhediya’ charged Rs 2 crore.
