'Stree 2' is doing wonders since its release. With a combined total of first-day earnings and paid previews coming to Rs 64.8 crore, the Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer has secured the spot as the third largest opening film after 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan'. Now, the movie has received a thumbs-up from actor and politician Kangana Ranaut and filmmaker Hansal Mehta.

While calling 'Stree 2' a "much-needed blockbuster," Kangana lauded director Amar Kaushik, labelling him as a "real hero." In her long post, she stated, "Movie 'Stree' has shattered all records. Congratulations to the entire team, but the real hero of a film is the director. In India, we don’t give enough credit or appreciation to directors, that’s why not many youngsters want to be writers/directors. Everyone who wants a career in films meets me for guidance, wants to be either an actor or a superstar. Who will make movies if all become actors? Socho!"
