Akshay Kumar Confirmed in Stree 3: Dinesh Vijan Hails Him as the ‘Thanos’ of Maddock’s Gripping Horror-Comedy Universe | Exclusive Insight!
Last updated on January 5, 2025: Akshay Kumar, whose cameo in Stree 2 became a massive hit, is now confirmed to return for Stree 3. In Stree 2, Akshay’s character was intriguingly introduced as the leader of a mental health facility and the last member of the Sarkata bloodline, pivotal in defeating the ghost. Despite headlining successful films like Khel Khel Mein and Sarfira in 2024, it was Stree 2 that became Kumar’s record-breaking blockbuster, grossing over Rs 800 crore globally and earning the title of the highest-grossing Bollywood film ever.
Fans eagerly anticipate Akshay’s expanded role in the Maddock Films’ horror-comedy universe with Stree 3. The film is set for an August 13 theatrical release. During the trailer launch of Sky Force, Akshay humorously mentioned his ongoing collaboration with producer Dinesh Vijan, terming it as his ‘dedh’ collaboration. When pressed about his involvement in the horror-comedy universe, Akshay cheekily stated that the decision lies with Vijan and Jyoti Deshpande, the producers. He seemed to hint at his return by adding, “Aur Amar Kaushik ko direct karna hai,” referring to the film’s director. Vijan confirmed Akshay’s participation and humorously labeled him the “Thanos” of their horror-comedy saga, emphasizing his crucial role in the series.
Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2, released on August 15, 2024, dominated the Indian box office for over a month, collecting more than Rs 600 crore domestically. The movie starred Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles and left audiences speculating about future storylines. Akshay’s impactful character has fans curious about whether he’ll eventually lead a standalone horror-comedy, expanding the intriguing universe Maddock Films is crafting. Will he finally headline a feature within the genre that has captivated audiences and broken records? Only time will tell.
