Stree 2 director Amar Kaushik won’t call Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer ‘female-centric film’; here’s why

Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, is currently running in theaters. The horror comedy has turned out to be a huge success at the box office. Shraddha’s character is presented quite strongly who comes to the rescue of Vicky and gang. However, recently, director Amar Kaushik shared that he wouldn’t call it a ‘female-centric film’ as he considered it a lot more.

In a recent interview with the Indian Express, director Amar Kaushik was asked whether Stree 2 is a ‘female-centric’ movie. In response, he shared, “I won’t call it a female-centric film, it is more.” Amar said that the female characters in his film were stronger. He talked about a woman coming to save the boys. The filmmaker continued, “Around the interval, when there is a song, a woman is gesturing to the boys to go and hide and they do so behind a bangle shop.”

Thus, Amar stated that he wouldn’t describe the film as ‘female-centric’ or ‘male-centric.’ He added that he attempted to make the female characters in his films, be it Bala, Stree, or Bhediya, stronger in comparison to the male characters. 

Talking about the star of the show, Amar Kaushik credited all the five main characters. He mentioned that Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Pankaj Tripathi were the ‘soul’ of the movie. Amar also gave a special mention to the technicians for their hard work. 

He said, “Everybody associated with the film is a star because each and every one of them has given their everything to the film, without even one person, the film wouldn’t be the way it has turned out.”

Stree 2 is the sequel to the 2018 movie Stree and continues the story after a leap of a year. The new villain in the film is Sarkata, who is targeting the young girls of Chanderi. Varun Dhawan, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Akshay Kumar have important cameo appearances in the film. 

Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Jyoti Deshpande, Stree 2 was released in theaters on August 15, 2024. It clashed at the box office with Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa.

Why Did Jennifer Lopez File For Divorce on August 20? Source Reveals She’s a ‘Woman Standing Up in Her Own Way’

Jennifer Lopez, the multi-talented artist known for her chart-topping hits and captivating performances, recently made headlines with a surprising announcement: she filed for divorce from actor Ben Affleck. But it’s not just the divorce itself that has everyone talking; it’s the timing and the way she’s handling it.

On their second wedding anniversary, JLo filed the divorce papers in LA County Superior Court. Why this specific date? According to a Page Six source close to the situation, Jennifer wanted to make a statement. She aimed to show the world that she’s “a woman standing up in her own way.” It’s a powerful move that speaks volumes about her independence and determination.

What’s even more intriguing? Jennifer Lopez filed pro se, meaning she represented herself without a lawyer. By doing so, it looks like she wants to take control of her own destiny.

Let’s rewind to two years ago. Jennifer and Ben Affleck tied the knot in Georgia after eloping to Las Vegas. Their love story was a whirlwind of passion and paparazzi attention. However, as time passed, cracks appeared in their relationship. 

Public speculation is doing the rounds right now, with some fans believing that communication issues plagued their relationship. Despite their undeniable chemistry, Ben and JLo allegedly struggled to align their priorities. While Jennifer emphasized family and emotional connection, Ben’s focus remained on his career and personal pursuits. 

Another fan theory states that Jennifer Lopez leaking the heartfelt love letters Ben Affleck penned to her during their romance soured the relationship. These intimate notes, which he had titled “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” captured their passion, dreams, and shared moments. 

So, according to some fans, Lopez allegedly showed them to musicians and others probably left a sour taste in Affleck’s mouth and mind. 

Their official separation date is listed as April 26, 2024, marking the end of their star-studded union. Jennifer Lopez’s feelings are raw. A Page Six source revealed that she felt “humiliated” and “frustrated” when their reconciliation efforts fell short. She had publicly declared Ben “the love of her life,” making the split even more painful. 

However, Ben’s lack of commitment signaled the end of their marriage. As the insider shared, “She just needs to look out for herself.” Jennifer’s recent shopping trip in West Hollywood, California, caught the media’s eye. Clad in a glamorous black dress, she sent a clear message: she’s reclaiming her dignity. 

Some call it revenge dressing, a term coined when someone dresses to impress after a breakup. In Jennifer’s case, it’s a powerful way to say, I’m moving forward. Meanwhile, Ben Affleck made his own real estate moves. He invested a whopping USD 20.5 million in a mansion in the ritzy Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles. 

The couple had previously put their USD 68 million marital home on the market. It seems both stars are strategically positioning themselves post-divorce. While Jennifer and Ben don’t share biological children, they blended their families from previous marriages. 

JLo has 16-year-old twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has three kids with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Their focus now is on moving forward while ensuring their children’s well-being.

Hollywood’s breakup saga continues, leaving fans wondering what’s next for these two iconic stars.
