Stree 2, the sequel to the 2018 horror-comedy hit, features the original star cast including Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Pankaj Tripathi. The film has generated increased anticipation following the success of the recent release Munjya, set in the same cinematic universe. Produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 promises to deliver another thrilling and entertaining experience.Singham Again is generating significant buzz due to the involvement of blockbuster director Rohit Shetty. Ajay Devgn reprises his role as Bajirao Singham, joined by Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Tiger Shroff.
Despite facing competition from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, the film’s charismatic lead, high-octane action, and patriotic fervor are expected to attract a broad audience. Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamiqa Gabbi, and produced by Jawan director Atlee, remains shrouded in mystery. However, early indications suggest it will be a heartwarming, family-oriented film with a touch of humor.
