Stree 2 Set to Haunt Theaters This Independence Day; Teaser out in Theatres
Get ready for a dose of chills and laughter this Independence Day! The makers of the highly anticipated horror-comedy "Stree 2" have unveiled the film`s release date along with a unique teaser launch strategy.
Marking a shift from the earlier announced date, "Stree 2" will now hit theatres on August 15, 2024, coinciding with India`s Independence Day. This exciting news comes alongside the reveal of a special teaser that isn`t available online but rather screened exclusively before showings of another Maddock Films horror film, "Munjya."
The teaser itself remains shrouded in mystery and unavailable on any social media platform yet. This unique approach highlights the return of the chilling entity, the Stree, (meaning "woman" in Hindi). The makers promise a film that`s both funnier and scarier, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats while tickling their funny bones.

"Stree 2" marks the fifth installment in the ever-expanding Maddock Supernatural Universe. The film reunites the original cast, including Aparshakti Khurana, Pankaj Tripathi, and Abhishek Banerjee, alongside the lead pair of Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. Directed by Amar Kaushik, written by Niren Bhatt, and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the banner of Maddock Films and Jyoti Deshpande, the film promises to be a cinematic treat.
However, "Stree 2" won`t have a clear run at the box office. The film is set to clash with some big names in the industry, including Akshay Kumar`s "Khel Khel Mein," Allu Arjun`s "Pushpa 2," and John Abraham`s "Vedaa."
"Stree" became the first film in Dinesh Vijan`s now-flourishing supernatural universe and remains one of the most successful horror comedies of recent times. The film earned a staggering Rs 129.9 crore in India, solidifying its place in pop culture.
