It will be produced by Karan Johar who has signed a three film deal with Lakshya. His previous film ‘Lakshya’s K’ too was produced by Karan Johar.

    While Ananya Pandey is a famous actress, Lakshya is new to films.

    Lakshya

    Lakshya is a TV actor known for featuring as the lead in several blockbuster TV shows.

    After a five-year stint in TV, Lakshya quit television shows to begin his journey in the film industry.

    Lakshya made his film debut with the 2023 film titled ‘Lakshya’s K’.

    Lakshya’s K received widespread positive reviews in the US and won critical acclaim for its writing, screenplay, edition, direction, stunts, and performance of Lakshya.

    Lionsgate and 87Eleven Entertainment, the makers of the John Wick franchise have bought the English remake rights of the film.

    The first two films of Lakshya were shelved and later Karan Johar handed over the script of K to him.

    Before we get into details, here’s a look at the salary of the lead cast of Stree 2

    Cast Fees
    Pankaj Tripathi 5 Crores
    Rajkummar Rao 8 Crores
    Shraddha Kapoor  7 Crores
    Aparshakti Khurrana 1 Crores
    Abhishek Banerjee 1 Cores

Rajkummar Rao is one of the greatest actors ever. But he doesn’t enjoy fan following like Varun and Kartik.

    Actors Aparshakti Khurrana and Abhishek Banerjee were paid 1 crore respectively for their performance. They are the underdogs of Stree 1 and Stree 2. Without Aparshakti Khurrana and Abhishek Banerjee, Stree 2 is complete. They both provide the extra dosage of comedy and funniness.

    Superstar Akshay Kumar did his cameo in Stree 2 for free. He charged nothing because of his future collaboration with the makers of Stree 2.

    Last but not least, critically acclaimed actor Pankaj Tripathi brings another charm with himself. Be it Stree 2 or any other film, he is always flawless. He is one of the highest paid actors without featuring in the main role. He has been paid a whopping 5 crores for his performance.

    With an earning of over 800+ crores globally, Stree 2 has emerged as one of the biggest successes in the history of Indian Cinema. The film is jointly produced by Amar Kaushik, Dinesh Vijan, and Jyoti Deshpande.

    Dinesh Vijan is the founder and CEO of the production company Maddock Films while Jyoti Deshpande is the CEO of Jio Studios. Amar Kaushik is the director of the film besides being a co-producer.

    A third part of Stree titled ‘Stree 3’ is planned too
