About Stree Movie
Stree is a Hindi comedy horror film directed by debutant Amar Kaushik and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Raj & D.K. The film stars Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles, alongside Flora Saini, (titular role), Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee.
The plot is based on the urban legend Nale Ba (“Come tomorrow”) of Karnataka modified as O Stree Kal Aana (“Oh Lady come tomorrow”) in the film.
In late November 2017, Raj and DK approached Rao to star in the maiden production. As part of the preparation for his role of a tailor, Rao learned to sew.
In December, Shraddha Kapoor was confirmed as the film’s female lead. Raj and DK brought on their first assistant director from Go Goa Gone, Amar Kaushik, to direct the film in January 2018.
