All about ‘Stree 2’
Stree 2, releasing on August 14, 2024, was a horror-comedy starring Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Pankaj Tripathi. The film was the story of a headless monster that wreaks havoc in the city of Chanderi. The audience liked the film, but it could not stand up to the historical grandeur of Chhawa. The next film in this franchise, Stree 3, will now release on August 13, 2027.
Chhawa may have taken a big leap, but Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawaan is still on top with earnings of 640.25 crores. This action thriller, released in 2023, had Shah Rukh in a double role, and the film created a stir at the box office as soon as it was released. Now if Vicky’s film earns 40 crores more, it will surpass this film.
