Shraddha Kapoor has weighed in on the ongoing discussion regarding the success of Stree 2, the sequel to the 2018 hit Stree, which has grossed over Rs 856 crore globally. The debate has centered on who should be credited for the film’s success, with names like Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, and other key contributors being mentioned.
At an event hosted by The Indian Express, Shraddha Kapoor addressed the issue by highlighting the collaborative nature of filmmaking.
Kapoor reflected on the impact Stree had on her when she first encountered the script, saying that the story stood out as pure entertainment. She recalled being thrilled by the unique narrative and enjoying the experience of playing her mysterious character. Reflecting on the success of the first film, she acknowledged the efforts of the director, writer, and producer in preserving the essence of the sequel.
Kapoor noted that making a successful sequel is not just about capitalizing on a previous hit but about ensuring the new film has substance. She explained that Stree 2 delivered on key elements such as entertainment, dialogues, and performances, and ultimately, the audience’s response determined its success.
