Filmmakers Raj and DK Celebrate Stree Anniversary

Filmmakers Raj and DK recently celebrated the sixth anniversary of their successful horror-comedy Stree, reflecting on its journey and the challenges they faced before its creation. Following the box office failures of their previous films, they found inspiration in childhood memories from their hometown of Tirupati, specifically the eerie phrase 'O Stree, Kal Aana', which sparked the idea for a gender-reversal narrative where men would fear going out at night. The duo completed the script in just three weeks, emphasizing originality and the desire to push genre boundaries. Despite a modest budget and initial doubts from the cast and crew, Stree became a significant success, leading to the recent blockbuster sequel, Stree 2. Raj and DK credited their experiences and friendships as vital to the film's success, which they describe as defying norms in filmmaking.
