‘Very interesting’: Shraddha Kapoor on potential expansion of ‘Aashiqui’ franchise

<p>Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor says the credit for the resounding success of her latest movie <em>Stree 2</em>&nbsp;belongs to its "fabulous team" that crafted a sequel true to the spirit of the original. The Amar Kaushik-directed horror comedy, a sequel to the 2019 film <em>Stree</em>, has emerged as the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time at the domestic box office, with a collection of over Rs 600 crore.</p>

<p>At an event on Friday evening, where the iconic magazine Screen was relaunched, Kapoor called the film a “pure cinematic joy” and praised the collaborative effort of the crew and her co-stars Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana.</p>

<p>"We have brilliant actors in the film. We have some really entertaining dialogues. So, it has been a fabulous team effort and pure cinematic joy. I'm really proud to be a part of this film," Kapoor said.</p>

<p>For Kapoor, it all began with <em>Stree</em>, set in the small town of Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh, where an evil spirit named ‘Stree’ abducts men during the festival season. The story was based on the urban legend of "Nale Ba," which went viral in Karnataka in the 1990s.</p>

<p>"It was about six years ago, and Maddock Films was just up and coming as a production house. All the actors were at very different stages in our careers. We were also growing in our own ways," she said.</p>

<p>"My personal reaction when I heard the first part was that I felt like I hadn't heard a film like that before. It was based on an urban legend, and I was literally falling off the sofa when I heard it. I was so glad that they came to me for this film, which is pure entertainment. I was genuinely laughing at the dialogues and the scenes," she added.</p>

<p>Kapoor, 37, said the movie and her character received immense love from audiences.</p>

<p>"My character is this mysterious girl who comes and goes, and you're constantly wondering about her presence. So, it all began there. And hats off to our producer, our writers, and my director for really cracking the sequel because it's important to not make a sequel for the sake of it.</p>

<p>"You really have to have some substance if you're going to bring people to the theatre and garner genuine appreciation. I feel they stayed true to how a sequel should be made. They did a super job by cracking the story of <em>Stree 2</em>, getting all the entertainment factors into the film," she said.</p>

<p>Kapoor, known for movies such as <em>Aashiqui 2</em>, <em>Ek Villain</em>, <em>Chhichhore</em>, and <em>Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar</em>, also opened up about her approach to selecting films.</p>

<p>"I believe that my best is yet to come, and I definitely want to feel, when I am going to be a part of a film, that it is going to be something exciting for me as an actor... to be a part of a particular story that is really riveting, that may have a message subliminally passed on to the audience. I am in that headspace right now," she said.</p>

<p>The actor also said her pace of work has changed.</p>

<p>"There was a time when I was doing a lot of films back to back, and now it's the opposite. It's like one film in three years... And it's fine. I found my comfort in that now because I feel like I want to be a part of films where I feel truly fulfilled and can push myself as an actor while doing something different from what I've done before," she added.</p>

<p>Kapoor also noted that it's not necessary to have a constant stream of film releases.</p>

<p>"My next film hasn't even been announced, and it's okay. It takes a lot for you and for anybody to be a part of a film. It takes months. It takes a lot of work and a lot of prep. I feel that from the bottom of my heart," she said.</p>

"I wish <em>Stree 2</em> climax was not so screechy and the second half was not this stretched. I did enjoy watching the film but the second half marred the experience to quite an extent.

Stree 2 becomes the biggest Hindi film of all time, crosses Jawan's lifetime earnings

<p>Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor's fans may be warring on social media on who is the biggest Bollywood actress at the moment, but the two seem to be sending each other love on Instagram. The teaser of Bhatt's new film <em>Jigra</em> was unveiled on Sunday and has received praise from peers in the film industry, including Shraddha Kapoor, who is riding high on the success of her recent film <em>Stree 2.&nbsp;</em><br />
<br />
As the teaser was unveiled it led to debate on X on whether Alia is the top heroine of Bollywood. Shraddha Kapoor's fans, however, felt differently and this led to a heated debate between the two fandoms.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The two actors, however, put up a friendly front. Shraddha took to Instagram Stories to praise Jigra's teaser. “<em>Ye toh theatre mein bhai ke saath dekhna hai </em>(I need to watch this in the theatre with my brother),” she wrote. “Kamaal ladki hai Alia Bhatt, kya amazing trailer hai Vasan Bala (Alia is such a marvelous girl. The trailer is amazing),” she added in her post as she re-shared the teaser on IG.<br />
<br />
In response, Alia thanked Shraddha as she addressed her as 'blockbuster Stree'.</p>

<h2><strong>Fan wars</strong></h2>

<p>After the trailer release, Alia's fans called her the ‘real female superstar of Bollywood’, a term that was being attached with Shraddha Kapoor after the recent success of her film<em> Stree 2.</em><br />
<br />
A person wrote, “Doing a 20-30 minute role in a multi-starrer film is not female-centric. This is what female-centric actually looks like.” They were seemingly taking a dig at Shraddha's <em>Stree 2</em>, which also starred Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi and others. Shraddha had a short but important role in the movie.</p>

<p>Another wrote, “Acting of Alia in two-min teaser&gt;&gt; Shraddha in that whole overhyped movie.” A tweet read, “Bye bye Shraddha Kapoor, bye bye<em> Stree 2</em>, Alia Bhatt will smash corporate lady star Shraddha Kapoor without any sequel hype, cameos by Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan, Maddock Universe.”<br />
<br />
Shraddha was also recently amid a 'credit war' with <em>Stree</em> co-star Rajkummar Rao. Multiple social media posts credited either of the two stars for the success of the movie- something that others felt was a PR strategy of both stars.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Even co-stars <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-aparshakti-khurana-calls-tussle-over-credit-for-stree-2-success-as-unpleasant-753473">Aparshakti Khurana, </a>Abhishek Bannerjee and director Amar Kaushik commented on it.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, <em>Jigra </em>is going to be Alia's second production after <em>Darlings</em>. The film explores the bond between a sister and her younger brother. Alia and Vedang Raina play siblings in the film which is helmed by Vasan Bala.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While sharing the photo, Shraddha wrote, "6 saal puraane photos, pehli “Stree” ke dauraan humaare “Stree” aur “Stree 2” ke super duper blockbuster producer aur director ke saath.

She also shared pictures of the two filmmakers along with the note. While sharing the photo, Shraddha wrote, "6 saal puraane photos, pehli “Stree” ke dauraan humaare “Stree” aur “Stree 2” ke super duper blockbuster producer aur director ke saath. Thank you Dinoo aur Amar @amarkaushik mujhe apne kamaal, bemisaal aur lajavaab “Stree” picharon mein shamil karne," which translates to, "6 years old pics. First Stree and then Stree 2. Thank you Dinoo and Amar for making me a part of your fantastic and fun Stree universe." Check it out below!

Shraddha Kapoor thanks Stree 2 makers amid credit debate

<p><em>Stree 2 </em>has been declared as the first hit for Bollywood in 2024. And while Amar Kaushik's directorial has been receiving love from audiences all over the world, the success of the film, it seems, has led to a PR tussle between the film's lead stars Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. Both are represented by different PR agencies, and both agencies have been projecting their respective stars as the sole reason for the film's success. However, Rao and Kapoor's <em>Stree 2</em> co-star Aparshakti Khurana has credited the audiences' love as the reason for the film's success.<br />
<br />
The actor spoke to Zoom, where he shared that he finds the ongoing PR game between <em>Stree 2</em> lead stars to be ‘slightly unpleasant’.<br />
<br />
The actor initially refrained from commenting on the issue and said he is only interested to know that the audience has liked the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
He gave credit to the audience and the media for the success of the film, adding that the film is doing well because it has received so much positivity from both of these sources.</p>

<br />
Commenting on the tussle, Khurana said, “It shouldn’t have happened now, when everyone is in a happy space, celebrating the film. In between all these things, when this happens, then you have to also take a side, but I don’t want to do that. They are all equally close to me and I respect their journeys. I am a big fan of journeys. What someone has gone through and can do well. Someone can dance well, act well, look well, or even do PR well. So there will be talent of all kinds, which can help that journey. I wouldn’t call PR my most strong part."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Directed by Amar Kaushik, <em>Stree 2</em> was released in theatres on August 15 on the occasion of Independence Day. The film features Rajkummar, Shraddha, Abhishek Banerjee, and Pankaj Tripathi along with Aparshakti Khurana. The horror-comedy has earned over Rs 5 billion globally.</p>

Aparshakti Khurana calls tussle over credit for Stree 2 success as 'unpleasant'

<p>Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor's latest film <em>Stree 2 </em>has been doing great business at the box office. The film has earned over Rs 5 billion globally within 10 days of release. In a recent interview, Rao admitted that he did not expect the movie to do so well.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While speaking to News18, Rao opened up about the film's box office success and called the Amar Kaushik film a 'content-driven' film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>'Numbers way above our expectations'</strong><br />
<br />
"We were sure that the film (Stree 2) would get lot of love because of the love that <em>Stree 1</em> got. There’s a big fan-following for <em>Stree</em>, including me. I am a huge fan of<em> Stree</em> myself. But these numbers are way above our expectations. We are glad and super elated. There’s a lot of gratitude that this is happening with a film like <em>Stree </em>because it is a content-driven film,” he added.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Days of Struggle</strong><br />
<br />
Rao added, “There’s a lot of gratitude. God has been really kind. I have got a lot of love from the audience and they have accepted me for who I am. I have come from nowhere. I come from a very humble beginning. I didn’t grow up with money around me. I am one of their [audience’s] own. A lot of messages I get say that it feels like a personal victory, which is overwhelming.”<br />
<br />
The actor also admitted that his journey in films wasn't easy. The actor spoke about his theatre days in Delhi and revealed that on some days he did not have money to take a state transport, so he would 'cycle 70 km up and down'. Then, after coming to Mumbai post-FTII (Film and Television Institute of India), he struggled 'to survive' in the 'expensive city', adding he didn’t know anyone, ‘where to start, who to meet’.</p>
