Akshay Kumar to Play Villain in Stree 3? Shraddha Kapoor Replaced?

STREE 3 The recently released Stree 2, starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, has made a strong impact at the box office, thrilling audiences with its blend of horror and comedy. The film, which also included a special appearance by Akshay Kumar, has left fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the franchise. Amid this buzz, Bhumi Rajgor, who portrays the title character in Stree 2, recently shared insights into the potential for a third installment and what it might involve. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Bhumi spoke about her experience working on Stree 2 and discussed the possibility of a showdown with Akshay Kumar in the rumored Stree 3. "I’m not certain yet, but given the film’s reception, I’m hopeful there will be a Stree 3,” she mentioned. “I have to admit, the idea of going up against Akshay Kumar is a bit intimidating—he’s a martial arts expert after all!” she added with a laugh. Bhumi also revealed some intriguing behind-the-scenes details, including the fact that she wasn’t given the full script of the film. To preserve the mystery surrounding her character, the filmmakers kept her role a secret, even from her. “Everyone assumed Shraddha was Stree, and the truth had to be kept under wraps,” Bhumi explained. “I didn’t even get to read the full script—I only saw the climax on the assistant director’s phone during the shoot.” Additionally, Bhumi shared a humorous anecdote about the unique atmosphere on set. According to the actress, the filmmakers had a fun tradition where a song related to each actor’s character would be played whenever they arrived on set. “Since I was playing a ghost, songs like ‘Gumnaam Hai Koi’ would be played,” Bhumi recalled. “The actor would start dancing, and everyone would join in. It really helped create a fun mood on set.”  Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 premiered on August 14 and has been a huge hit. The film features an ensemble cast, including Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee, Pankaj Tripathi, and Aparshakti Khurrana. With the possibility of Stree 3 on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating what’s next for the franchise, especially with Bhumi Rajgor’s intriguing hints about her character’s future.
