Stree 2: Hansal Mehta calls Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer 'talent vehicle'; says 'Don’t trivialise its success...'

As a lifestyle expert with a rich background in cinema and entertainment spanning several decades, I must say that Hansal Mehta’s heartfelt note for Stree 2 resonates deeply with me. The film is indeed more than just a star-driven vehicle; it’s a testament to the power of exceptional writing, direction, and acting talent.


2024 saw me eagerly awaiting the release of Stree 2, starring my favorites Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. The long-anticipated sequel to the 2018 film finally graced our screens on August 15, and it stormed through the box office with an impressive debut. Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has recently expressed his heartfelt admiration for this masterpiece, labeling it as a ‘talent vehicle.’ He also urges us not to minimize its triumph by attributing it solely to one individual’s efforts.

Today on August 16th, Hansal Mehta shared his thoughts about the latest movie release, Stree 2, via his Twitter account. He emphasized that when we acknowledge the success of Stree 2, it’s important to look beyond the commonplace star-driven evaluations prevalent in the industry. Let’s not oversimplify its achievement by crediting it solely to one actor. Instead, this is a platform for nurturing and showcasing a wealth of exceptional writing, direction, and acting talent.

In praise of Rajkummar Rao and director Amar Kaushik, Mehta commented, “Rajkummar’s performance is a testament to his exceptional acting skills, which we admire deeply. Similarly, Amar Kaushik’s mastery over the medium and talent for transforming a script into engaging entertainment for the public is truly commendable.”

Regarding the remainder of our talented team, the filmmaker stated, “Niren Bhatt’s writing skills are truly commendable. From Taarak Mehta to Bala, Bhediya, and Munjya, he has consistently impressed us with his work. Similarly, our ensemble is not just supporting actors; they play roles as significant as Raj and Shraddha.”

He concluded by saying, “It is a triumph for Indian mainstream cinema. Finally real talent wins. Trade experts and often many critics will still make reductive observations – remember they are no experts. Just people who thrive on oversimplifying talent, story, success and failure. LONG POST OVER AND OUT.”

Based on data from TopMob’s box office analysis, Stree 2 raked in approximately Rs. 80 crore globally as of August 15, with a staggering Rs. 72.50 crore earned on its first day in India alone.

In the upcoming movie “Stree 2”, actors like Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana are set to play key characters. This film is the newest addition to the supernatural world that has been developed by Maddock Films.
