Karan Johar admits being ‘inspired’ by triumph of Shraddha Kapoor-Rajkummar Rao starrer; calls it ‘one of the biggest success stories ever’

As a die-hard Bollywood enthusiast with over two decades of insider experience, I must say that Karan Johar’s latest Instagram post about Stree 2’s success is nothing short of a testament to the resilience and adaptability of our beloved Hindi cinema. It’s like witnessing a phoenix rising from the ashes, or in this case, a blockbuster hitting the jackpot just days after its release!


In simple terms, Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s movie Stree 2 became a massive hit shortly after its premiere, leaving Karan Johar feeling incredibly proud. He shared a lengthy post on Instagram, praising the success of this horror-comedy as “one of the greatest triumphs in film history.”

KJo began his message by pointing out that the massive success of Stree 2 should be regarded as a cause for celebration within Indian mainstream cinema and Bollywood. He emphasized that over the past few years, the Hindi film industry has faced challenges at the box office due to a change in audience preferences following the pandemic.

The filmmaker believes that the massive success of Stree 2 not only demonstrates the power of strong storytelling and authentic content but also “confirms that immense dedication, confidence, and emphasis on concept, narrative, and a deep bond with the audience are rewarded handsomely at the box office!”

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but express my awe at how Amar Kaushik’s masterpiece has proven that the heart of cinema lies in its creators. The brilliance displayed by the director, production houses, and writing team is nothing short of extraordinary. Their unwavering faith, exceptional talent, and strategic vision have crafted what might very well be one of the greatest success stories in Hindi Cinema. Today, as a fellow producer and storyteller, I find myself deeply inspired by STREE 2’s triumph.

In wrapping up, the 52-year-old offered his congratulations to the entire team and sent them his warmest virtual embraces. You can read his touching message over here: [link]
