Vicky Kaushal was initially cast for “Stree”

The popular horror-comedy film “Stree,” starring Shraddha Kapoor, almost had a different leading man. Before Rajkummar Rao took on the role of Vicky, the makers had initially approached Vicky Kaushal for the part.

However, due to scheduling conflicts, Vicky was unable to commit to the project. The role eventually went to Rajkummar Rao, who delivered a stellar performance and contributed significantly to the film’s success.

“Stree” became a critical and commercial hit, receiving praise for its unique blend of horror, comedy, and social commentary. The film’s success can be attributed to the strong performances of both Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, as well as the clever writing and direction.

Although Vicky Kaushal was unable to be part of “Stree,” his absence certainly didn’t detract from the film’s quality. Rajkummar Rao’s portrayal of the character was widely appreciated, and the film’s overall impact remains strong.
