The initial two seasons of Netflix’s Lust Stories gained significant attention due to their daring exploration of themes such as intimacy and sexual desires that span various dimensions including gender, marriage, family structures, and socio-economic backgrounds. Recently, it has been reported that Amar Kaushik is now joining the team following Vikramaditya Motwane, Shakun Batra, and Kiran Rao who have already signed up for the upcoming film project.

Based on a report from News 18 Showsha, preparations are underway for the third installment of Lust Stories, with plans to start filming this year. As previously worked on by Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, and Shakun Batra, Amar Kaushik – director of Stree 2 – has now joined the team. He is expected to begin shooting for the movie shortly.

It’s worth noting that this will mark a new chapter for him as he ventures beyond the Maddock Films’ horror-comedy realm.
