The Maddock Films horror-comedy Stree in 2018 is one of the most anticipated films that starred Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkumar Rao as the lead characters. However, on Saturday, the director announced his plans for a horror-comedy universe and stated that Varun Dhawan will be playing the cameo role in the movie.
Varun Dhawan’s Cameo role
According to the media reports, Varun Dhawan shot his guest appearance in Stree 2 recently in a studio in Mumbai. And he will be playing the role of Bhediya in Stree 2 which will set things up for Bhediya 2.
Moreover, Varun had a blast with his director Amar Kaushik on the sets of Stree 2 and they further discussed on the shoot for Bhediya 2. “There’s so much more to explore with the character of Bhediya. We only scratched the surface in the first film. And would love to explore his journey more in the sequel,” the sources told further.
