Sunil Kumar aka Sarkata recalls loveable moments with Stree 2 co-star Shraddha Kapoor on sets!

Sunil Kumar has taken center stage in the film Stree 2, which stars Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. He got to prominence for his part as Sarkata in the movie. Recently, the actor discussed his experience working on sets alongside the principal actors and legendary actor Pankaj Tripathi.

Sunil Kumar, also known as Sarkata, spoke with the media about the mood on the sets of Amar Kaushik's Stree 2. He recalls Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, and Pankaj Tripathi performing the songs and dancing after arriving in the morning. "Aise mauj masti chalti thi set pe to kaafi maza aata tha shooting karne mein (There used to be a lot of fun on the sets and I enjoyed shooting)," he told.

He also stated that all of the actors would frequently ask him where he was from, what he did, and what he ate to reach such a height. "Nature wise bahut ache the Shraddha mam bhi, bahut acha nature hai unka, Rajkummar sir, Pankaj sir jinse bhi main mila (Shraddha, Rajkummar, Pankaj are all good-natured)".

Sunil also recalls shooting the majority of his scenes with Shraddha. The actor heaped love on her and recalls having the nicest time working with her. He revealed, "Unke saath acha lagta tha baatein karna, bahut time pass hota tha bahut saari baatein karte the vo. Main thoda shy type ka hoon, thodi kam baatein karta hoon magar vo bahut zyada karte the (I liked talking to her. I’m shy type, but she talks a lot so we would have a great time)."

During the chat, the Stree 2 star admitted to feeling "nervous" during the film filming. However, his co-stars would make him laugh and put him at ease. He added that he ultimately became comfortable.

Finally, he mentioned how much he enjoyed working on the horror comedy. He specified, "Itne itne bade bade stars hain jab main sochta bhi nai tha ke unke saath kaam karenge. Main gaon mein rehta hoon, gaon se Bombay mein gaya jo star hum movie mein dekhte the unke saath milne ka mauka mila (They’re such big stars. I had never imagined working with them. I live in a village and went to Mumbai from there. I met the stars that we would watch on screen)."

Film Stree 2 Review : A Sequel That's More Noise Than Fright!

Stree 2 arrives with the promise of amplifying the quirky horror-comedy magic of its predecessor. While it delivers on laughs and scares in parts, the film ultimately gets lost in the cacophony of its own making.

What Works

• Comedy Gold: The film continues the franchise's tradition of rib-tickling humor. Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee are in their element, delivering laugh-out-loud moments with impeccable timing.
• Visuals and Sound Design: The film's production design is commendable, creating a spooky atmosphere that complements the horror elements. The sound design is equally impressive, enhancing the jump scares and overall suspense.

What Doesn't Work

• Over-the-Top Chaos: While the first installment struck a balance between humor and horror, Stree 2 leans heavily towards chaotic comedy, often at the expense of the suspenseful elements.
• Thin Plot: The plot feels stretched and convoluted, with several subplots that don't quite come together.
• Underutilized Shraddha Kapoor: Despite being the titular character, Shraddha Kapoor's role remains underdeveloped, leaving her character somewhat one-dimensional.

The Verdict

Stree 2 is a film that promises a lot but delivers an inconsistent experience. While it has its moments of brilliance, the overall impact is diluted by excessive noise and a lack of focus. Fans of the franchise might find some enjoyment, but for those seeking a well-rounded horror-comedy, this sequel might fall short of expectations.

Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya character in Stree 2!

Presently, Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan is enjoying the success of his recently released movie Bhediya. We saw Shraddha Kapoor in a cameo in the song Thumkeshwari with Varun and Kriti. With her presence in the song, it was clear that Stree 2 is on its way to amuse us. Now admirers who loved Varun in Bhediya are hoping to see him in Stree 2 as well.

As we all know that the next plan for Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik is Stree 2. The movie starring Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurrana was loved by all and now the news of its second instalment has given rise to a lot of enthusiasm. When Varun Dhawan was questioned if he will be a part of Stree 2 or not, the actor responded, “I don’t know whether Bhaskar (his character in Bhediya) will be there or not. I loved working again with Kriti after Dilwale. It was great working with Abhishek Banerjee and Paalin Kabak”.
