Amar Kaushik told India Today that, similar to the first film, ‘Stree 2’ needed a significant dance number.

After considering a few options, they chose Tamannaah Bhatia, who had previously collaborated with Maddock, believing she was the perfect fit for the role.

Despite his concerns, Tamannaah was very accepting and did not question the scene. Her willingness to embrace the role without concern for her appearance contributed positively to the film, and her performance has sparked significant discussion. “I approached her, and she was very cool about it. She did not even question the scene and was okay with shedding the vanity,” he concluded.
