Stree 3 Release Update: Dinesh Vijan Confirms Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor's Film Will Arrive In 2028
The franchise began with Stree in 2018 and Stree 2 became a major box-office hit in 2024.
Summary
Good news for Stree fans. The makers have confirmed the third instalment of the horror-comedy franchise will arrive in 2028. Producer Dinesh Vijan announced Stree 3 release window at a Mumbai event, where he and Rao discussed the franchise's run.
What's the update on Stree 3?
Vijan, who attended FICCI Frames in Mumbai alongside Rao, said the Stree 3 script is ready. He said director Amar Kaushik has just finished writing it and that the makers are keeping the film's details secret. He also said that Stree 3 might release on Independence Day or Christmas Day.
"Stree 3 arrives in 2028. If I say anything more, he'll (Amar Kaushik) get upset with me because he just finished writing it. He thinks that I give out too many spoilers, but everything that you have loved about it, you'll get it, but where it starts and where it ends will be a complete revelation. So, I think it might be a nice Independence Day or Christmas Day present in 2028," Vijan said.
Rajkummar Rao on Stree success
Rajkummar Rao said the team had confidence in the script and in Kaushik's approach from the start.
"It was amazing. We started as an independent small-budget film, but we all had great faith in the story and the way Amar was on set. He is like us, so we all were like laundas (young boys) on set; we were just cracking jokes and trying to make this wonderful film with each other, and I think that energy is very much visible on the screen, and that's exactly what happened with Stree 2," Rao said.
