Stree 2: Shraddha Kapoor is back to protect you from black powers

Shraddha Kapoor is making her highly anticipated return with the sequel to "Stree," the film that launched the Maddock Supernatural Universe. The actress, who starred in the original, has unveiled a new poster for the upcoming horror-comedy on her Instagram.

In the poster, a woman dressed in black is seen from behind, holding her long ponytail that crackles with thunderbolts. Above her, a tall, mysterious figure shrouded in a black cape looms. The scene is set against the backdrop of an old, haunted fortress.

While complementing the supernatural theme, the actor captioned her post as, “Kaali taaqat se sabki raksha karne woh aa rahi hai bas 2 din mein (She is coming to protect from the black powers in just two days)!”, while adding ghost and monster emojis. #Stree2 Trailer Out In 2 Days!

Stree 2 is set to release on August 15 and will also feature Abhishek Banerjee, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and others in crucial roles. Directed by Amar Kaushik, this sequel continues to build on the intriguing narrative of the original film.
