Varun Dhawan made a blockbuster cameo as Bhediya in Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2. According to Pinkvilla, he did his role in the film for free.
Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan has been grabbing attention for all the right reasons lately. He wowed audiences with his blockbuster cameo as Bhediya in Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s hit film Stree 2. Interestingly, we have exclusively learned that Varun did his cameo in the Amar Kaushik directorial for free.
A source told that Bhediya is a character that holds a special place in the hearts of both Varun Dhawan and Dinesh Vijan. When Bhediya, co-starring Kriti Sanon, was released in 2022, it received immense love from the audience. Following the positive response to Varun’s cameo in Stree 2, Varun Dhawan and Dinesh recently announced their plans to return with Bhediya 2. The actor-producer duo intends to start working on the sequel soon and aim to take it on the floor by the end of 2025. It will be exciting to see how the makers continue the story.
Stree 2, which also starred Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Pankaj Tripathi in key roles, featured another special cameo by Akshay Kumar. Audiences went wild after seeing him on the big screen, and his chemistry with Abhishek had cinema lovers in splits. The filmmakers added an intriguing twist to Akshay’s character, hinting at a more detailed role for him in the next installment.
Meanwhile, Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2 is inching closer to the ₹300 crore club. In just 7 days, the film has amassed ₹270 crore, including collections from paid previews on August 14, 2024. Despite facing competition from Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham’s Vedaa, Stree 2 remained unaffected.
Recently, in an interview, Rajkummar Rao discussed the possibility of uniting Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya in a single film. He said, “It’s too early to say, to be honest. But yes, that’s the reason this universe is being built; so eventually, we can have that one big film where we’ll have a villain like Thanos, with Vicky as Iron Man and (pointing towards Shraddha, hinting at Stree) Black Widow. So yes, that’s the plan—one major film. But before that, we are just building up the universe, slowly, until it reaches the top of the pyramid, where we know it’s time to make that one big film. But yes, it will happen.”
