Roohi: Dinesh Vijan Calls Rajkummar & Janhvi’s Film ‘Stree’s Crazier Sister’; Talks About Stree’s Prequel And Sequel

After leaving the fans in splits along with goosebumps with the super hit horror comedy Stree, producer Dinesh Vijan and actor Rajkummar Rao joined hands once again for their much await film Roohi. Also starring Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Sharma in the lead, the horror comedy will release in theaters on 11^th March. The team finally dropped the trailer yesterday and while netizens were impressed with the spooky masterpiece, many have compared it to Stree. Well, Vijan has now clarified that Roohi is more like Stree’s crazier sister.

In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, the producer opened up about plans for his one of a kind horror universe. He shared, “The universe will conspire to bring all the stories together. The writing on Roohi started much before Stree released, and if you ask me, Roohi is Stree’s crazier sister. That’s the only similarity, but it’s a very nuanced film. The pressure of universe is not on Roohi as the idea is that each film has to work on its own and then taken forward. All my horror comedies will start connecting to each other at a later stage and we will do larger things in it. We are right now taking baby steps.”

Much to our delight, he also opened up about his next film Mujha, the prequel to Stree which will follow the story of the girl who was in the original film. This project will kick off in September and next year the Stree sequel will also go on floors. He explained, “First, we will tell you who was the girl who came in Stree and what other complications she got along. Then the films will start interacting with each other.”

But that’s not all! Vijan’s monster comedy Bhediya, starring Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, is also going on floors next week in Arunachal Pradesh and is expected to find its way into the universe. It’s going to be crazy fun!
