"Stranger things copied Shraddha obviously," joked another.
One user added, What are you even saying?!?! Millie Bobby Brown is a big fan of Shraddha!!! If Stranger Things was made in India, Millie would want Shraddha to play her!!! And she basically told Shraddha to copy the Stranger Things poster!!!"
Another commented, "I mean that an obvious copy. Even the purple lights bf in the right are exact. Like bro! Someone got paid to copy-paste."
'Stree 2' will see Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao reprising their roles with Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee. The film promises a return to the spooky yet hilarious world where the legendary Stree continues to terrify men. Makers recently unveiled the highly anticipated trailer of the horror comedy. The trailer begins with Pankaj Tripathi's character introducing the new threat to the people of Chanderi, 'Sarkata'.
The trailer also shows Vicky's love interest for Shraddha. Vicky steps forward and transforms himself into the prince of Chanderi to save the women from the new threat that emerges as Sarkata threatens to abduct all the women of the village.
Tamannaah Bhatia is also making a cameo with a dance number in the movie.
'Stree' was released in 2018 and was declared a hit. The sequel will be out in theatres in August this year.'Oo Stree Kal Aana', a phrase from the movie, has been repeatedly used in memes. Amar Kaushik has directed both parts.
