The recent success of Stree 2 has sparked a flurry of discussions, from the film’s box office performance to behind-the-scenes tidbits. One topic that has caught the attention of fans and critics alike is the striking resemblance between the film’s promotional poster and that of Stranger Things Season 2. Abhishek Banerjee recently addressed these comparisons during an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama.

When asked about the similarities between the two posters, Banerjee responded, “Pata nahi, I have no idea. Yeh marketing aur poster woh log kis tarah se sochte hain humein kya pata. Hum toh actor hain. Hamara toh kaam hai poster pe aana, banana thodi hai (I have no idea. It’s up to the marketing team and designers to figure out how to promote the film. Our job is to appear on the poster, not create it).”

The controversy arose when viewers noticed that the posters of the two shows shared a similar aesthetic. Both featured a group of young characters standing in front of a dark, ominous background, with a sense of looming danger. The resemblance was so apparent that many fans took to social media to express their observations. While some argued that the similarities were purely coincidental, others suggested that Stree 2 might have been inspired by the popular Netflix series.

Stree 2, helmed by Amar Kaushik, stars Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee and Pankaj Tripathi. Released on Independence Day 2024, the film has garnered Rs. 421.85 crores at the box office till now.

Stree 2 star Shraddha Kapoor is making waves not just on screen but in her personal life as well. The actress, who has won hearts with her performance in the blockbuster film, is reportedly planning a significant upgrade in her living situation. Shraddha is set to become Akshay Kumar’s neighbour by moving into Hrithik Roshan’s current sea-facing apartment in Juhu.

Shraddha Kapoor’s to rent Hrithik Roshan’s Juhu house?
According to a recent report by the Hindustan Times, Shraddha Kapoor is set to move into Hrithik Roshan’s sea-facing apartment in Juhu, Mumbai. This move would make her the new neighbour of Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, who lives in a luxurious duplex apartment in the same building with his wife Twinkle Khanna and their children.

This prime Juhu property, currently owned by Hrithik Roshan, offers stunning views of the Arabian Sea and is located in one of Mumbai’s most sought-after residential areas. The building is home to several celebrities, making it a hub of Bollywood royalty.

Initially, there were speculations that Varun Dhawan, along with his wife Natasha Dalal and their daughter, would be moving into Hrithik’s apartment. However, those plans didn’t materialise, and it seems that Shraddha Kapoor will be the one to make the move.

Interestingly, Varun Dhawan, who also made a special appearance in Stree 2 as Bhaskar Sharma from the Maddock Supernatural Universe film Bhediya (2022), was linked to the property before Shraddha’s name surfaced. On the other hand, Akshay Kumar also made a surprising cameo in Stree 2, playing a patient in a psychiatric hospital in Bhopal. 

Stree 2, produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios, has turned into an all-time blockbuster, with its box office performance exceeding expectations. The film, featuring a star-studded cast including Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee, and Pankaj Tripathi, recorded the biggest second weekend of all time and continued to perform well on its third Monday.

The upcoming film Emergency, starring and directed by Kangana Ranaut, has sparked controversy ahead of its release. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the apex body responsible for the management of historical Gurdwaras, has issued a legal notice to the producers of the film, including Kangana Ranaut, alleging that the movie misrepresents Sikh history and contains scenes that have deeply offended the Sikh community.

The SGPC’s legal notice demands the immediate removal of objectionable scenes from Emergency and calls for an apology from the filmmakers to the Sikh community. The SGPC also insists that the film’s trailer, which was released on August 14, be taken down from all public and social media platforms.

As reported by The Hindu, SGPC Secretary Partap Singh expressed strong disapproval of the film’s portrayal of Sikhs, stating, “The movie trailer reveals several anti-Sikh scenes which have deeply hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community. An attempt has been made to show Sikhs as terrorists and separatists, which is unacceptable and far from the truth.”

The SGPC’s notice highlights concerns that the film distorts historical facts and perpetuates negative stereotypes about Sikhs. Singh emphasized that if the filmmakers do not comply with the demands to remove the offensive content, the SGPC will pursue legal action against them.

In addition to the SGPC’s legal notice, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seeking the revocation of the certification granted to Emergency for its public release. The PIL argues that the film poses a threat to the social harmony of Punjab and could incite communal tensions.

The petitioners behind the PIL contend that Emergency attempts to vilify the Sikh community by presenting them in a negative light, which could have serious consequences for the already sensitive social fabric of Punjab. The PIL requests the court to intervene and prevent the release of the film until the objectionable scenes are removed and the filmmakers issue a public apology.

Emergency, a political drama centered around the events of the 1975 Emergency in India, has been a topic of discussion since its announcement. As of now, neither Kangana Ranaut nor the other producers of Emergency have publicly responded to the SGPC’s legal notice or the PIL filed in court.

The film industry is abuzz with excitement as rumours of a potential collaboration between the actor Aamir Khan and director Lokesh Kanagaraj gain momentum. The duo has been discussing several projects, including a cameo appearance in Rajinikanth’s highly anticipated film Coolie and a standalone movie.

As per a report in Pinkvilla, a source close to the project revealed, “They have met and are exploring several options… we need to wait and watch to know what works out from either of the two options.”

Earlier this month, speculations arose about Aamir Khan and Lokesh Kanagaraj teaming up for a film produced by Mythri Movie Makers. These recent developments suggest that these rumours were indeed accurate and could potentially lead to a collaboration. If the project materializes, it would mark a significant moment in Indian cinema, as it could see Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan share the screen for the first time.

Aamir Khan was last seen in the lead role in Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022. He is currently gearing up for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par, a sports drama directed by RS Prasanna. Based on the Spanish film Campeones, Sitaare Zameen Par also features Genelia Deshmukh in a pivotal role and is set to hit theaters on Christmas this year.

Lokesh Kanagaraj is currently immersed in the production of Coolie, starring the legendary Rajinikanth. This high-octane action film also includes Shruti Haasan and Sathyaraj. The film is set to be a standalone project, existing outside of Lokesh’s Cinematic Universe (LCU). Anirudh Ravichander has been roped in to compose the film’s soundtrack.
