In Stree 2, we have seen the chemistry between Bhediya Varun Dhawan and Stree Shraddha in the song Khoobsurat, and it went viral on social media. Reacting to whether a romantic angle in the future instalments is possible or not, director Amar Kaushik told Filmygyan, “Abhi Varun kaisa dikhta hai, powerful. Abhi woh powerful waisa waala ho gaya hai, matlab alag level ka powerful ho gaya hai. Aur yeh usko dekhegi, nahi dekhegi, woh aage waali picture mein dekhenge. Jab woh normal, cute sa tha, tab ho sakta hai usko pyaar kar sakti thi. Arre yeh toh bohot cute hai, aisa hai. But abhi jo hai, abhi I am not sure kya hoga.”
(How does Varun look now? Powerful. Now he has become that powerful, I mean he has become powerful on a different level. And whether she will see him or not, she will see in the next picture. When he was normal cute, then maybe she could have loved him. Oh, he is very cute, that's true. But as of now, I am not sure what will happen)
He further added that when Shraddha arrives on set or on stage, Varun comes on stage and everyone's face lights up with a smile. She brings a different aura and when she arrives wearing red, she mesmerises everyone. "Red is a very powerful color, you know, and this character is very powerful. So whenever she wears red, you can see that power coming to you," Amar said.
