Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor-starrer Stree, which opened in cinemas on Friday, will soon have a sequel. Dinesh Vijan, who bankrolled the horror comedy along with filmmakers Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, is ecstatic with the positive reactions it has garnered. He says, “The film’s last two shots actually set up the sequel. When you watch the movie, you will understand that we intentionally had an open ending. Stree 2 will start off from there and explain those shots. We have written it as a franchise, so there will be a sequel. We are happy that the confidence in the content has paid off.”
SHRADDHA’S BACKSTORY
A lot of the portion in the second part will be a precursor to what happens in the first part. Dinesh explains, “Along with Shraddha’s backstory, a few other pertinent questions will be answered in the second instalment. The cast will be retained, but there will be new inclusions too. Predominantly, it will still be driven by Raj and Shraddha’s characters.”
AFTER TWO YEARS
The Raabta director says, “We hope to go on floors with Stree 2 by the end of 2019. And hopefully, in two years, we will be ready with it.”
