Starring Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana, the film is quickly closing in on the ₹400 crore mark in India.

Director’s journey and vision

Director Amar Kaushik shared in a recent interview with PTI that he never expected his debut film to be a horror-comedy. Initially, he had planned to debut with *Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga*, a film he later produced. Reflecting on *Stree’s* success, Kaushik admitted that he was nervous during its release and had reservations about working on a horror film. However, he wanted to deliver something unique and fresh to audiences, which ultimately led to the success of both *Stree* and its sequel, *Stree 2*.
