Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer ‘Stree 2‘. The sequel to the 2018 hit ‘Stree’ was released on August 15 and made a notable impact at the domestic box office. Mehta described the film as a “talent vehicle” and emphasised that its success should not be attributed to a single person, instead, he urged recognition of the collective effort behind the film’s achievement.
Mehta took to X to share his thoughts on the recent release ‘Stree 2’.He said, “When you celebrate the success of Stree 2 remember that it goes beyond the narrow star-driven calculations that abound in the industry. Don’t trivialise its success by attributing it to one star. This is a talent vehicle, studded with exceptional writing, directorial and histrionic talent.”
Mehta also praised Rajkummar and director Amar Kaushik, stating, “It is a triumph for Rajkummar who we love because he is such a superlative actor. It is a triumph for Amar Kaushik because of his command over the medium and his ability to expertly craft a script into meaningful entertainment for the masses.”
He further added, “It is a triumph for Niren Bhatt’s writing – from Taarak Mehta to Bala to Bhediya to Munjya, the man has consistently delivered. It is a triumph for an ensemble that is as much a principal lead as Raj and Shraddha.”
“It is a triumph for Indian mainstream cinema. Finally real talent wins. Trade experts and often many critics will still make reductive observations – remember they are no experts. Just people who thrive on oversimplifying talent, story, success and failure. LONG POST OVER AND OUT”, he concluded.
‘Stree 2’ brings back Rajkummar and Shraddha as the lead stars after the success of the original film. The sequel shows Sarkata returning to scare the people of Chanderi, who turn to Stree for help. The film features surprise cameos, including Varun Dhawan, who reprises his role as ‘Bhediya’. Leaked stills from the film revealed that Akshay Kumar also has a special cameo in the movie.
