Varun Dhawan rubbishes rumours of doing ‘Stree 2’

Varun Dhawan has denied that he is part of the sequel to the hit horror comedy ‘Stree’.

Directed by Amar Kaushik, ‘Stree’ emerged as a box office winner last year, with producer Dinesh Vijan announcing that he would be releasing a sequel as part of his ambitious horror-comedy franchise. The movie featured Rajkummar Rao in the lead.

When asked if he would be a part of ‘Stree 2’, the actor told reporters: “No, it’s false.”

Dhawan’s upcoming multi-starrer ‘Kalank’ opens in cinemas in India on April 17, a week before the mammoth Marvel project ‘Avengers: Endgame’ hits screens worldwide.

Asked if he feels the superhero film will hamper the box office prospects of ‘Kalank’, Dhawan said: “Our film is coming out nine days before [‘Avengers’], even internationally we are getting a big release. Nine days is a lot for ‘Kalank’ to be seen and liked by people. These days, if people like a film, it works. So if they like ‘Kalank’, it will continue to run. There is enough screen space for both these films to run.”
