While Shraddha Kapoor returns in her titular character for ‘Stree 2’, to save the boys and Chanderi from Sarkata, director Amar Kaushik maintains that he won’t call the sequel a ‘female-centric film’, as it is much more than the gender rivalry.
“I won’t call it a female-centric film; it is more,” he said in a new interview.
The director continued, “Around the interval, when there is a song, a woman is gesturing to the boys to go and hide and they do so behind a bangle shop. So, I would say it is not a female-centric or a male-centric film.”

“In my films, I try to have stronger female characters than my male characters, whether it is in Bala, Stree or Bhediya, and now Stree 2,” he emphasized.
Furthermore, Kaushik also asserted that there is no single ‘star of the show’, and all five main characters are the ‘souls’ of ‘Stree 2’. “Everybody associated with the film is a star because each and every one of them has given their everything to the film; without even one person, the film wouldn’t be the way it has turned out,” he added.
