Summary
- Stree 2 (2024) is the highest Bollywood grosser of all time
- Director Amar Kaushik remains humble despite massive success

In the world of Bollywood, director Amar Kaushik has achieved a remarkable feat – his 2024 film Stree 2 has become the highest-grossing Bollywood movie of all time. Yet, despite this unprecedented success, Kaushik remains humble and down-to-earth, much like he was when his debut directorial, Stree, became a surprise super-hit in 2018.
The horror comedy universe that Kaushik has created has continued to grow, with the recent release of Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Rashmika Mandanna. In an exclusive interview, Kaushik discussed the process of connecting the characters from the different films in the universe, as well as the inclusion of secret Easter eggs and humorous elements that have become his trademark.
Kaushik's collaborative approach with producer Dinesh Vijan has been instrumental in the success of the horror comedy universe. Together, they have carefully crafted a cohesive world, with Kaushik serving as the "Pitaji" (father) and Vijan as the "Dada ji" (grandfather) of this cinematic family.
