Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor who were last seen in 2018 film Stree are likely to reunite soon but unfortunately it is not for the sequel of Stree. The film about a female ghost was loved by the audience a lot and unexpectedly crossed Rs 100 crore mark. The open ending of the film left the viewers with the hope of a sequel.
While the fans have been waiting eagerly for the second installment of Stree, it seems the project is unlikely to go on the floors in the near future. The entertainment website Pinkvilla reports the script of the film is ready but the fight between the producers Dinesh Vijan and Raj Nidimoru & Krishna D.K. has put everything on hold. The latter duo also wrote the film.
“Dinesh Vijan and Raj & DK had a major fallout with each other after Stree did those numbers. The fight was all about the distribution of finances. None of them had expected such returns on the film and since they had an argument, Stree 2 is completely on hold right now. The team knew that they will make a sequel and the story is already in place. But given the big fight, it’s not happening anytime soon,” the website quotes a source.
But it seems Dinesh Vijan has come up with another movie and a plan. “Dinesh has spoken to Raj and Shraddha and is most likely getting them on board for another project that he will be bankrolling next year. They have locked the idea and the script is being finalised. When Dinu bounced the idea off to Raj and Shraddha, both of the liked it and gave their verbal nod to the film.”
In fact, Shraddha also opted out of another big film because she had already promised and committed to her good friend Dinu. “Shraddha was offered Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 but by then, Dinu had already approached her for this film which is also a commercial entertainer and she let BB2 pass,” the source concluded.
