The highly anticipated sequel 'Stree 2', starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, is set to release on August 14, 2024, and has already made waves with record-breaking advance ticket sales, exceeding 130,000 for the opening day. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film continues the horror-comedy theme of its predecessor, focusing on a local folklore about the 'Sarkata Bhoot', a vengeful spirit from World War II. In contrast, competing films 'Khel Khel Mein' and 'Vedaa' have seen lackluster ticket sales, with a combined total of only 6,700 tickets sold for the same opening day. The excitement surrounding 'Stree 2' is largely attributed to Kapoor's star power, as she boasts nearly 91 million Instagram followers, which has significantly boosted audience interest. Additionally, the film features a special appearance by Tamannaah Bhatia and a cameo by Varun Dhawan in the promotional song 'Khoobsurat'. As the release date approaches, the film is expected to revitalize cinema ticket sales in the face of stiff competition.
