The film concluded with a romantic song featuring the duo, which quickly became a fan favorite, sparking widespread demand for more of their chemistry in upcoming installments.
Director's Insights on Stree-Bhediya Chemistry
In a recent interview, director Amar Kaushik addressed the palpable on-screen chemistry between Shraddha Kapoor and Varun Dhawan. He acknowledged the audience's appreciation for their pairing and delved into how their dynamic might evolve, while kaushik's comments provide a glimpse into the creative vision for these beloved characters, suggesting that their relationship is far from straightforward and will be influenced by the narrative developments of the universe.
Varun Dhawan's Evolving Role
