The highly anticipated sequel, Stree 2, has taken the box office by storm, shattering records and demonstrating its immense popularity among audiences. The film, starring the dynamic duo of Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has surpassed the Rs 100 crore mark in just two days and is well on its way to achieving a staggering Rs 150 crore gross collection by the end of the weekend. Amidst this box office triumph, a new report has revealed that Rajkummar Rao topped the cast in terms of salary, earning a hefty Rs 6 crore for reprising his role as Vicky in Stree 2. Meanwhile, Shraddha Kapoor, despite being a leading actress, received a slightly lower remuneration of Rs 5 crore, indicating a potentially interesting dynamic in the industry.
This revelation about the actors' salaries has sparked further discussion, especially considering the reported fees of other prominent cast members. Pankaj Tripathi, known for his powerful performances, reportedly received Rs 3 crore for his contribution to Stree 2. Varun Dhawan, who made a special appearance in the film, reprising his Bhediya avatar, charged a reported Rs 2 crore for his cameo. Aparshakti Khurana, a popular supporting actor, was allegedly paid Rs 70 lakh, while Abhishek Banerjee, another prominent cast member, took home Rs 55 lakh for their roles. These figures highlight the varying compensation structures within the film industry, with actors' fees often reflecting their star power, popularity, and the duration of their roles.
Stree 2's success can be attributed to several factors, including the popularity of its predecessor, the strong performances from the cast, and the film's unique blend of comedy and horror. Despite clashing with two other big releases, Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham's Vedaa, Stree 2 emerged victorious at the box office. According to trade expert Taran Adarsh, Stree 2 has garnered an impressive Rs 145.80 crore in its first week, showcasing its dominance in the Indian market. The film's continued success is a testament to the talent involved and the enduring appeal of the Stree franchise. As the film continues its box office run, it will be interesting to see how its final earnings compare to the original Stree, and whether it can maintain its momentum in the coming weeks.
