If you’ve loved Akshay Kumar’s brief cameo in Stree 2, then there’s some good news to celebrate!
The actor is returning as the villain in the film’s third installment Stree 3. Dinesh Vijan, the producer behind the beloved horror-comedy universe, has confirmed it.
On Sunday (January 5), Akshay Kumar attended the trailer launch of his upcoming film Sky Force in Mumbai. The million-dollar question from the event was whether the actor will be a part of Dinesh Vijan’s horror-comedy universe, again.
In conversation with News18, he replied, “What can I say? Dinesh and Jyoti (producer) will have to decide that. They’re the ones to pump in the money. Aur Amar Kaushik ko direct karna hai. (And Amar Kaushik will have to direct the film).”
That’s when Dinesh Vijan chimed in, saying, “Of course, he’s a part of the universe! He’s our Thanos.” Dinesh Vijan donned the producer’s cap for Sky Force too.
Movies like Stree, Stree 2 Bhediya, Munjya, and Roohi are backed by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films.
Akshay Kumar’s malicious character in Stree 2 created much hype. He was portrayed as the leader at a mental hospital.
Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor played the lead in Stree 2. Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana were a part of the project as well. Besides Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan, and Tamannah Bhatia also made guest appearances.
