The horror-comedy film Stree 2, featuring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles, has proven to be a massive hit at the box office. Released in theatres on August 15, the movie has earned over 340 crores in just about 10 days, making it a significant achievement for the entire cast. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film is a sequel to the 2018 hit Stree and also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee. This box office success is a remarkable milestone for Shraddha Kapoor, who has been praised for her ability to draw in audiences. In a past interview, her co-star Ranbir Kapoor, who worked with her in Luv Ranjan's Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, had praised her box office appeal.
Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, who have been friends since childhood, shared the screen for the first time in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (2023). During a promotional event for the film, Ranbir spoke highly of the Stree 2 actress, referring to her as a "commercial box office superstar." The actor mentioned that they have been friends for a long time due to their parents' friendship and that working together revealed they have similar creative energies and a shared fire and passion for giving their best in their work. Ranbir also hoped that he and Shraddha would get more opportunities to work together in the future. This clip of Ranbir praising Shraddha has resurfaced online amid the ongoing success of Stree 2.
