Stree 2 teaser: Rajkummar Rao's film is more horror, less comedy?

The wait for Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor's Stree 2 is getting shorter as the film will hit theatres on August 15. The makers have just released the teaser for the film, which has added to the buzz around it.

Stree 2 teaser

The teaser begins with a man washing a huge black statue of a mysterious figure. On the bottom of it is written, “Oh stree raksha karna (Stree, please protect us).”

Later, we hear that ‘Stree’ is back and we get to see people’s expressions on her arrival. Rajkummar's character says, “Je toh aa gayi sach mein (she has really come back).” The teaser then features some horrifying experiences that the city will have to endure, and it seems that this time, Stree possesses young girls.

Later, the teaser introduces Shraddha Kapoor in her previous Stree avatar, with kohl-rimmed eyes, silver earrings, dark-coloured clothes and a long braid. The teaser then shows how Shraddha's character entices that of Rajkummar and that the people of the city venture on a journey of discovery after mysterious things begin happening in the city. The teaser also hints at the introduction of new characters but their faces are not revealed.

The teaser ends with Rajkummar saying, “Hamne aapki choti kaati thi agar ham tail ki massage karenge toh fat se aa jayegi wapis (I had cut your braid; it can come back if I massage your hair with oil).” This reminds us of a scene in Stree where Rajkummar’s character comes face-to-face with Stree.
