It’s no longer a secret that “Stree 2,” the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2018 hit “Stree,” has not only taken the box office by storm but has also won the hearts of audiences everywhere. In just 20 days, this horror-comedy gem joined the exclusive 500-crore club and smashed a bunch of records along the way. The film’s success has been nothing short of extraordinary, and it’s no surprise that fans are buzzing with excitement about what’s next for the franchise.
So, how long will fans have to wait for the next chapter? While it took a long six years for “Stree 2” to come out after the original, the wait for “Stree 3” won’t be nearly as grueling. Director Amar Kaushik recently shed some light on this in an interview with ANI. He shared, “We took six years to bring ‘Stree 2’ to life, but we’re aiming for a much shorter gap this time. We’re looking at a minimum of three years for the third installment.”
This news should come as a relief to fans who’ve been eagerly counting the days since the release of “Stree 2.” The idea of a new film in just three years is definitely exciting. But there’s also the question of whether Akshay Kumar will return. His cameo in “Stree 2” as a descendant of Sarkata was memorable, and the post-credit scene hinted that he might play a bigger role in future movies.
When asked about Kumar’s potential return in “Stree 3,” Amar Kaushik gave a thoughtful response. “Whether Akshay Kumar will appear in ‘Stree 3’ depends on the script,” he explained. “If the story requires his presence and it fits with the narrative, we’d be thrilled to have him. But if the script takes a different direction, he might not be part of it.”
So, while we don’t yet know if Kumar will be back, the anticipation for “Stree 3” is certainly growing. With a shorter wait and a franchise that’s already proven its magic, the next film promises to continue the perfect blend of horror and humor that has captured audiences’ imaginations. Keep your eyes peeled and your popcorn ready—“Stree 3” is coming, and it’s bound to be worth the wait!
