and

Shraddha Kapoor

, has dominated the box office. With a surprise appearance by

Akshay Kumar

, the film left viewers excited for the next instalment in the franchise. Amidst all of this enthusiasm,

Bhumi Rajgor

, who plays the titular character in ‘Stree 2’, recently talked about the possibility of a third movie and its possible plot.

During a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Bhumi talked candidly about her experience working on ‘Stree 2’ and her thoughts on the potential for a face-off between Akshay Kumar and herself in the rumoured ‘Stree 3’. “I’m not sure yet, but looking at the film’s reception, I’m hopeful there will be a

Stree 3

,” she shared. She laughed and continued, “I have to admit, I’d be a little scared to go up against Akshay Kumar—he’s a martial arts expert after all!”
Bhumi also shared some fascinating behind-the-scenes information, such as the fact that the movie's whole script was not disclosed to her. The filmmakers kept her role a secret, even from her, in order to preserve the mystery surrounding her character. She revealed, “Everyone assumed Shraddha was Stree, and the truth had to be kept a secret. I didn’t even get to read the full script—I only got to see the climax on the assistant director’s phone during the shoot.”
Along with these disclosures, Bhumi also shared a humorous anecdote about the distinct vibe on set. The actress claimed that every time an actor arrived on set, a fun ritual among the filmmakers was to play a song that was associated with that character. “Since I was playing a ghost, songs like ‘Gumnaam Hai Koi’ would be played. The actor would start dancing, and everyone would join in. It really helped create a fun mood on set,” Bhumi recalled.
