It has already been announced that ‘Stree 3’ is in the works and it will come out soon. Of course, the filmmakers are now confident with the franchise and they will bring more stories in the horror universe. All the films in the newly emerged ‘horror-universe’ have worked out well in theaters. Even ‘Munjya’ with no known stars did wonderfully well.
But now there is more expectation with the cinematic universe. ‘Stree 2’ has gone on to break many box office records and fans expect more from the makers. ‘Stree 3’ will have huge anticipation and there is a possibility of the movie having a much bigger budget than any of the films in the cinematic universe.
Akshay Kumar made an unexpected cameo in ‘Stree 2’ and he might have an important role to play in the movie. When such a big star is attached to the movie the independence with the story that the director and writer previously had, might be hampered.
There will probably a merging of the stories of ‘Bhediya’, ‘Munjya’ and ‘Stree’. And it comes with more complications. The more ambitious the movie gets, the more difficult it will be to retain the rooted originality that ‘Stree’ had.
However, it can be dealt with if the writer and the director come up with a powerful story. The word-of-mouth worked in the favour of Stree 2 and if the next movie managed to make a good story, it will be a great achievement.
