Shraddha Kapoor recently took to Instagram to share some nostalgic throwback photos from six years ago with Stree and Stree 2 director Amar Kaushik and producer Dinesh Vijan, affectionately known as "Dino." In her post, Shraddha expressed her gratitude for being a part of the iconic film franchise, captioning the photos, "6 saal puraane photos, pehli 'Stree' ke dauraan humaare 'Stree' aur 'Stree 2' ke super duper blockbuster producer aur director ke saath. Thank you Dinoo aur Amar @amarkaushik mujhe apne kamaal, bemisaal aur lajavaab 'Stree' picharon mein shamil karne."
Fans were quick to shower love and appreciation in the comments. One fan praised the filmmakers, writing, "They carry the horror movie category on their backs." Another fan nostalgically remarked, "The legend repeated after 6 years." Others were delighted by the surprise, with one fan commenting, "This was a surprise! Please make surprises like this more often hehehe."
The Stree franchise has become a cornerstone of Indian cinema. The original Stree, released in 2018, is a Hindi-language comedy horror film directed by Amar Kaushik in his directorial debut and produced by Dinesh Vijan along with Raj & DK. Starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, alongside Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee, the film is inspired by the urban legend Naale Baa, which translates to "come tomorrow" in Kannada, adapted as "O Stree Kal Aana" in the film.
