EXCLUSIVE: Rajkummar Rao & Shraddha Kapoor to team up again but it's NOT Stree 2
While fans are waiting for the second part of Stree, the fight between the producers have delayed the same. Instead, Dinoo has signed Shraddha and Raj for another film.
Last year, Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor took everyone by a huge surprise with their film Stree. The horror comedy went on to do terrific numbers at the box office and raked in over Rs 100 crore at the box office. The movie ended on a cliffhanger and everyone's waiting for Stree 2, but it doesn't seem likely to happen soon.
A source says, "Dinesh Vijan and Raj & DK had a major fallout with each other after Stree did those numbers. The fight was all about the distribution of finances. None of them had expected such returns on the film and since they had an argument, Stree 2 is completely on hold right now. The team knew that they will make a sequel and the story is already in place. But given the big fight, it's not happening anytime soon."
But Dinu has come up with another movie and a plan. "Dinesh has spoken to Raj and Shraddha and is most likely getting them on board for another project that he will be bankrolling next year. They have locked the idea and the script is being finalised. When Dinu bounced the idea off to Raj and Shraddha, both of the liked it and gave their verbal nod to the film." In fact, Shraddha also opted out of another big film because she had already promised and committed to her good friend Dinu. "Shraddha was offered Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 but by then, Dinu had already approached her for this film which is also a commercial entertainer and she let BB2 pass." We texted Dinesh Vijan but he didn't respond to our messages.
