Stree Might Be Shraddha Kapoor’s Best Decision
Shraddha Kapoor is on a roll. She’s recently beat Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Chopra to become the most popular Indian female celebrity on Instagram. This is the first time that Shraddha has broken ahead of her contemporaries in social media. Shraddha is one of the most talented actresses, but she has been out of the limelight for a while. A couple of her films have not worked well at the box office, but the chirpy girl has got it all back with the quirky horror comedy Stree.
Shraddha Kapoor beat Alia Bhatt, who has around 80 points. Deepika Padukone, whose last film Padmavat was a rave success has 68 points. Priyanka Chopra is at 66 points and Sonam Kapoor Ahuja is at 51 points.
Horror comedy is a difficult genre. Indian directors have tried to tackle it with mixed results since the days of Darling (2007), which starred Fardeen Khan and Esha Deol. Somewhere along the line, Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK game with Go, Goa, Gone, which was a runaway hit. Recently, Anushka Sharma dabbled with horror comedy with the film Phillauri. Now, Raj and DK return to the big screen with Stree, a horror comedy starring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi and others.
