For the unversed, ‘Stree 2’ directed by Amar Kaushik and produced by Maddock Films, released in cinemas on August 15, 2024, alongside John Abraham's 'Vedaa' and Akshay Kumar's 'Khel Khel Mein'.
Earlier, director Amar Kaushik defended the limited screen time of Shraddha Kapoor in 'Stree 2', saying it was done in order to enhance the character's impact.
“Yes, a lot of people told me but that’s how the character was. If you see, even Abhishek Banerjee comes 40 minutes into the film. With Aparshakti, it was vice versa. Until he got hypnotized or possessed by Sarkata, he was fully there in the madness. After that, he became someone else. It was the demand of the script,” Amar Kaushik told Bollywood Hungama.
“We write what is required. We don’t think, ‘Yeh actor bura maan jaayega, yeh role bada hai, yeh role chota hai’. For us, the Bible is the script and things have to be organic. My producer also has given me freedom in this regard. Some people even complained that Shraddha Kapoor’s screen time is less. Lekin agar Shraddha zyada dikhti, toh jis tarah ki entry ki usne, uska impact nahin hota,” he added.
