Stree 2 features actors Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurrana in the lead roles.
Actress Shraddha Kapoor who portrays the character of a ghost in Stree 2 has been paid a whopping 7 crores for her role. She is one of the highest paid actresses among all young actresses in Bollywood. But actresses such as Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone charge 20 to 25 crores. In Stree 2, Shraddha Kapoor had less screen time due to her character.
Actor Rajkummar Rao has been a whopping 7 crores for his performance in Stree 2. He had the maximum screen time in the film among other cast members. Rajkummar Rao usually charges anywhere near 6 to 8 crores per film. He is underpaid as actors such as Varun Dhawan and Kartik Aaryan charge over 20 crores for a film. 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.
Actor Varun Dhawan was paid over 2 crores to reprise his role of Bhediya in Stree 2. Bhediya is another film from the same franchise. Varun Dhawan featured in a guest appearance in the climax of the film.
Popular South film actress Tamannaah Bhatia was featured as a cameo in Stree 2. She was initially cast to feature in a song during the interval. But she acted for a few scenes. She has been paid 1 crore for her performance.
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
