“Stree 2” is directed by Amar Kaushik, written by Niren Bhatt, and produced jointly by Maddock Films and Jio Studios. It is the fourth installment in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe and serves as the sequel to the movie Stree (2018).

The film featured Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana as a group of friends united in their mission to take down Sarkata — a sinister, headless spirit responsible for the mysterious abductions of women in the town of Chanderi. In the horror-comedy, Aparshakti Khurana portrayed Bittu, the loyal and witty friend of Vicky, played by Rajkummar Rao. His character added a dose of humor and charm to the eerie storyline, making Bittu a memorable part of the film’s ensemble.
