Actor Rajkummar Rao shared on Thursday that he was flooded with calls and messages following the success of his latest release, ‘Stree 2’. Many people reached out to him, expressing that the film’s success felt like a “personal victory.” The horror-comedy, a sequel to 2018’s ‘Stree’, directed by Amar Kaushik and written by Niren Bhatt, hit theatres on August 15. Backed by Maddock Films, ‘Stree 2’ has crossed ₹600 crore in earnings in India.
“We are happy that ‘Stree 2’ got such a good response and achieved so much success. The numbers mean that so many people have watched your film. The love that I’ve received from people, personally on messages, calls, and social media,” Rao shared these thoughts during the trailer launch of his upcoming film ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’.
He went on to add, “Many people told me, ‘This feels like a personal victory’. This made me emotionally vulnerable. A lot of them also said, ‘We are connected with your journey. Your win is like our win, you give us hope.’ All this was overwhelming for me.”
Recently, Amar Kaushik, talking about the film’s success, stressed that credit should go to more than just the actors. He said, “There are more people associated with the project apart from the actors. There are DOPs, sound designer, music director. It is also Dinesh Vijan’s marketing and the film’s music that made the project bigger and better.” The director then said, “Please continue the credit war until the film reaches Rs 1000 crore at the box office.”
Stree 2 is part of the Maddock Supernatural Universe, which also includes Bhediya and Munjya. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film has been receiving praise from various Bollywood stars, including Priyanka Chopra, following its success. Apart from Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, the film also features Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, Atul Srivastava, Mushtaq Khan, Sunita Rajwar and Anya Singh in key roles. Additionally, Varun Dhawan makes a special appearance and Akshay Kumar has a cameo.
