Stree 2 is on a roll as it has turned out to be one of the most successful films this year. However, a section of viewers have complained about the limited screen time of the film’s female protagonist Shraddha Kapoor. The film also stars Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurrana and Abhishek Banerjee. Akshay Kumar features in a special cameo as well. The film’s director Amar Kaushi has justified Shraddha’s limited screen time and said that her character would not have so much impact if she had more scenes.
Talking to Bollywood Hungama, Kaushik said, “Some people 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 (If Shraddha was seen more, then the way she had her entry, the impact of her character would be less).”
Kaushik also addressed actor Aparshakti’s limited screen time. He said, “Lots 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 hypnotised or possessed by Sarkata, he was fully there in the madness. After that, he became someone else. It was the demand of the script.”
“We write what is required. We don’t think, ‘Yeh actor bura maan jaayega, yeh role bada hai, yeh role chota hai (an actor would feel bad, this role is big, this role is small)’. For us, the Bible is the script and things have to be organic. My producer also has given me freedom in this regard,” Kaushik concluded.
Stree 2 is the highly anticipated sequel of Stree (2018). The film was released in cinemas on August 15 and has already raked in Rs 285 crore at the box office in just six days. It is expected to cross the Rs 300 crore mark under a week.
