Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Stree 2 has refused to slow down at the box office. After enjoying a record-breaking extended opening weekend, the horror-comedy has entered the Rs 400-crore club in a span of just 12 days, which is nothing less than historic. In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, the leading man spoke about the success of the sequel, playing the unforgettable character of Vicky again, his three consecutive hits of 2024, and what we can expect in part three.
Edited excerpts from the interview: Right on the first day you scored a half century. Were you expecting such massive numbers? I was expecting that people would go and watch the film. I know that the fan base of Stree is huge.
But to have these kind of numbers even on weekdays was unexpected. We are super elated that it’s happening with our film. And now it’s entered the 400 crore club.
How does it feel? I don’t sit back and think behind box office numbers, I’m not the box office kind of a guy (smiles). But I’m aware that it’s doing well ever since the weekend has started and it’s a clear run in a way for the next couple of weeks. It has been a great year for you with three successes.
How do you look back? I always wanted to do this kind of work. I would love to do a Srikanth which is a biopic or a Mr and Mrs Mahi which is an internal relationship drama and then Stree which is a horror comedy which of course is my own franchise. I want to explore different genres, I want to try d.
