The sequel to the hit horror‑comedy ‘Stree’, featuring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has been postponed to 2028, producers say.
The much‑anticipated third installment of the ‘Stree’ franchise, which pairs Shraddha Kapoor with Rajkummar Rao, will now be released in 2028, according to the film’s producers. The decision follows a series of scheduling conflicts and strategic planning to align the project with the studio’s long‑term slate.
Producers have not disclosed a specific release month, but confirmed that the delay is intended to give the creative team ample time for script development and post‑production work. The original timeline had slated the film for a 2025‑2026 window, but the shift reflects broader industry trends of extended production cycles for high‑budget sequels.
Fans of the original ‘Stree’ (2018) and its sequel ‘Stree 2’ (2023) will have to wait longer for the next chapter, which is expected to retain the blend of horror and social satire that defined the series. The producers reiterated their commitment to delivering a film that meets audience expectations while ensuring safety and quality standards on set.
No further details on casting changes or storyline have been released, but the involvement of Kapoor and Rao remains confirmed. The production house has pledged to provide updates as the project progresses toward its new 2028 target.
