Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor recently dropped a major hint that has fans of the Stree franchise excited about a potential third installment. The Stree series, known for its unique blend of horror and comedy, has captivated audiences since the release of the first film in 2018. Kapoor’s latest Instagram interaction has all but confirmed the continuation of the supernatural series.
Kapoor, who starred alongside Rajkummar Rao in the successful sequel Stree 2, took to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes photos from the set, captioning the post with “50% Pookie 50% Maaru kya ???” This playful interaction hinted at more to come, especially when a fan asked about her character’s name, and she responded, “pakka bataungi! Stree 3 mein.”
The Franchise That Keeps on Growing
Stree has proven to be a game-changer in Bollywood, combining elements of traditional horror with laugh-out-loud comedy. The first film’s story revolved around Chanderi town, where a mysterious female spirit terrorizes the male population. Its sequel, Stree 2, took things to a new level, adding more thrills, scares, and laughs. With cast members like Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, and Aparshakti Khurana returning, fans can expect another thrilling ride in Stree 3.
In fact, the sequel’s box office performance was extraordinary, grossing over INR 527.7 crores, surpassing even big-budget films like Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan. The success of Stree 2 solidified the franchise’s place in Indian cinema.
A Unique Mix of Horror and Humor
The Stree films are based on urban legends, with Stree 2 exploring the terrifying Sarkata Bhoot, a ghostly figure inspired by folk tales from Lansdowne, Uttarakhand. The headless ghost roams the town at night, adding a layer of mystery and fear to the comedic storyline. Fans have come to love this mix of the macabre and the humorous, eagerly awaiting what’s next in the saga.
Kapoor’s confirmation of Stree 3 has heightened expectations for what new twists the next film will bring. With the urban legend-based storylines and beloved cast, Stree 3 promises to be another blockbuster.
