Varun Dhawan to replace Rajkummar Rao in Stree sequel?
Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Amara Kaushik's directorial debut Stree was one of the blockbusters of 2018. the horror-comedy was well received even critically. Seeing the massive success of Stree, its sequel was inevitable. Hence, makers announced that they are planning to come up with Stree 2 and the latest reports suggest that Varun Dhawan will be replacing Rajkummar for the lead role. When the actor was asked about the same during the promotions of his upcoming film Kalank, he refuted the reports.
Well, isn't it happy news for Rajkummar Rao and even Stree fans? They will get to see their favourite Vicky in the sequel as well. We have to agree no one could have played the character of Vicky with so much innocence.
Rajkummar is currently busy shooting for Hansal Mehta's Turram Khan and completing the patchwork for Mental Hai Kya. He will begin the shooting for Stree 2 by the end of this year, Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying.
Meanwhile, at the event, Varun even spoke about Kalank opening at the cinemas a week before Marvel's mammoth project Avengers: Endgame. The actor doesn't feel that the giant superheroes film will hamper Kalank's business. "Our film is coming out nine days before ('Avengers'), even internationally we are getting a big release. Nine days is a lot for 'Kalank' to be seen and liked by people. These days, if people like a film, it works. So if they like 'Kalank', it will continue to run. There is enough screen space for both these films to run,'' he said.
