During the trailer launch of the film, Shraddha Kapoor revealed about paranormal activities happening on the sets of ‘Stree’. Between the shot-breaks, Pankaj Tripathi has narrated all the ghost stories to Shraddha and Rajkummar. This added the feel of paranormal activities on the sets of ‘Stree’.

Gathering the cast and crew of eager listeners, Pankaj would delve into stories that he heard from his childhood to entertain everybody on sets. And ended up spooking the leading lady of the film, Shraddha Kapoor. These were Tripathi’s innovative tricks of setting the mood just right for a horror comedy.

The ‘Masaan’ actor Pankaj Tripati said, “I’ve always loved listening to stories, especially the paranormal kind. The fun was how people said it and how everyone seemed to have one. My village in Gopalgunj had so many stories like these that I had heard growing up. So on set it started as a joke where we one day decided to share ghost stories but soon it became a regular thing and all the ones I had heard in my childhood came in handy, as I had many stories to tell. The location made it even spookier”.

Stree‘ is helmed by Amar Kaushik and bankrolled by Dinesh Vijan, Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. Starring Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi and Aparshakti Khurana, the film is slated to release this weekend, August 31st, 2018.
