The recently released movie Stree 2, starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, is currently making waves at the box office. It is the sequel to the 2018 horror comedy Stree, which completes six years since its release today, August 31, 2024. On this special occasion, let’s revisit the moment when Rajkummar revealed that he was the one who suggested the title of the film.

In an old interview with PTI, Rajkummar Rao shared that he was the mind behind the title of the movie Stree. Recalling the narration of the film, the actor said, “When Raj & DK came and narrated me the script, the title was something else. But in conversation, I told them if we can name it Stree. In a way, I was the one who decided the title.” Rajkummar added that he felt the word was quite ‘catchy.’

Today, the official Instagram handle of Maddock Films celebrated the milestone of Stree. They posted a video of the famous scenes from the film. The caption read, “6 years ago, we met the #Stree jo kuch bhi kar sakti hai, & we’ve loved her ever since. Celebrating 6 Years of Stree!”

Rajkummar Rao’s character Vicky meets a mysterious girl, played by Shraddha Kapoor, and together with his friends they save the town.
