The excitement surrounding Stree 2 just got a lot more intense with the announcement of a special cameo by Varun Dhawan.

Varun Dhawan confirms cameo in Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2
Fans of Dinesh Vijan’s horror-comedy universe have been eagerly awaiting Stree’s return. The film features Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, and Pankaj Tripathi, who are all set to reprise their roles. But there’s an added thrill this time. Varun Dhawan, who played Bhediya in the 2022 film of the same name, makes a surprise appearance in Stree 2.
The buzz began when Maddock Films released a promo for the song “Khoobsurat,” which features a romantic sequence between Dhawan and Kapoor. In the teaser shared on Instagram, Dhawan and Kapoor have an electric chemistry that promises to make “Khoobsurat” one of the year’s standout romantic tracks.
Dhawan’s post read, “Iss Stree ki khoobsurti ka kaun hai yeh naya aashiq? #Khoobsurat Song Out Tomorrow! #Stree2, the legend returns this Independence Day, 15th August. Bhediya se yeh mulaqat #Khoobsurat rahi! Stay tuned!”
This cameo is not just a surprising twist for fans but also a clever link between the films in the Maddock Supernatural Universe. Shraddha Kapoor also made a brief appearance in Bhediya, establishing a shared world that continues expanding with Stree 2.
Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik, is set to release in theaters on August 15, 2024. This sequel promises to build on the success of its predecessor. After all, it will blend horror with comedy and introduce a new ghoul to the story. Alongside Kapoor, Rao, and Tripathi, the film also features Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana in significant roles.
Stree 2 will be competing with other anticipated August releases. It includes Akshay Kumar and Taapsee Pannu’s Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham and Sharvari Wagh’s Vedaa.
