Amar Kaushik on Stree 2

Director Amar spoke to PTI recently and revealed that he never thought his debut film would be a horror-comedy. He would’ve debuted with Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga (which he later produced) if it had been up to him.

“When Stree released, it was my first film, I was very nervous. I never wanted to start my career with a horror film, that was the last thing I thought I would make. While we were editing the film, we felt this was a different kind of film as there was no reference point for it,” he said, adding, “I was also an audience member a few years back, and I was craving for good cinema, and something new. When I got the chance to make it (Stree), I tried to give something new.”
