Actor Rajkummar Rao shared that following the success of his latest film ‘Stree 2’, he was overwhelmed with calls and messages from people who felt it was a "personal victory" for them. The horror comedy, directed by Amar Kaushik and written by Niren Bhatt, is a sequel to the 2018 hit ‘Stree’.
Rajkummar Rao expressed his happiness at the positive response and success of ‘Stree 2’, noting that the impressive numbers indicate widespread viewership. “I’ve received a lot of love through messages, calls, and social media,” he said.
“Many people told me it felt like a personal victory for them, which made me emotionally vulnerable. They shared that they feel connected to my journey and see my success as their own, which was overwhelming for me.” He spoke about this at the trailer launch of his upcoming film ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’.
‘Stree 2’ features Shraddha Kapoor, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee, and Pankaj Tripathi, among others. Released on August 15 and backed by Maddock Films, the film has grossed over ₹600 crore in India. Rajkummar Rao, who has begun shooting for his next project ‘Maalik’, an action thriller directed by Pulkit, stated he will continue to approach every film with the same dedication. The film was announced on his birthday, August 31.
Rajkummar Rao revealed, "Just three days after the release of ‘Stree 2’, I began shooting for *Maalik*. My passion for what I do remains unchanged, regardless of whether a film earns ₹100, ₹500, or ₹5,000."
