BREAKING: Shoot of Vicky Kaushal's Mahavatar to commence in January 2027; Stree 3 goes on floors in 2027-end; horror comedy expected to release on Independence Day or Christmas 2028
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Rajkummar Rao shared, " Stree (2018) started as an independent small budget movie. But we all had great faith in the story and in Amar Kaushik. He's hilarious. He's like us. So, we all were like laundas on the set! We would crack jokes and try to have fun with each other while shooting the scenes. That camaraderie and energy is very much visible on screen."
Adding to this, He continued, " Stree was Amar's first theatrical rollout. I haven't shared this with anyone. When it started collecting very well and collected Rs. 70-75 crores, Amar was very nervous. He asked, 'Movie kuch zyada nahin kama rahi hai ?'! I shared, 'Arre, acchhi baat hai na ?'. He replied, 'Arre nahin. Pehli movie itna business kar rahi hai ?'."
Meanwhile, Stree 2 (2024), meanwhile, was a Rs. 500 crore rupees plus grosser. When the host asked how Amar Kaushik reacted to the sequel's smash hit business, Rajkummar Rao replied, "At that time, he was prepared. Then, he was like 'Aur kamaye'! In between, he delivered Bala (2019) and Bhediya (2022). As a result, he became a producer's friend!"
Notably, Dinesh Vijan then revealed, "Amar Kaushik is the most integral part of Stree and the entire horror comedy franchise. He directs our most ambitious movie in January end, Mahavatar , which is Bhagwan Parshuram's story. He'll finish that in June and end of next year, we go on floors with Stree 3 . It'll arrive in cinemas in 2028."
As per the latest buzz, He also told viewers to expect the unexpected with Stree 3 , "Anything you have thought, remove that from your mind. If I say anything more, you'll be very upset with me because he has just finished writing it. And he feels I give out too many spoilers! But everything you have loved about it, you'll get. However, where it starts and where it ends will be a complete revelation. So, it might be a nice Independence Day or Christmas day rollout in 2028!"
