Directed by Amar Kaushik, this horror-comedy has managed to surpass the remarkable benchmark set by the 2013 hit, further intensifying the excitement around its release. Starring Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana, it is a sequel to the 2018 superhit Stree.
In an exciting entertainment news update on the box office, the movie had its paid preview release on August 14, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans and critics alike are raving about the film, and this enthusiasm is reflected in the unprecedented advance booking numbers. As reported by Times Now, the early estimates state that Stree 2 has surpassed Chennai Express’ paid preview collection at the box office.
