Amar Kaushik confronted Aparshakti Khurana for passing a controversial comment on Stree 2 credit war

Stree 2 turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the year. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film featured Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in lead roles. Since the film’s release, several reports have surfaced online suggesting that the two lead actors were involved in a credit war. The film’s director, Amar Kaushik, has now disclosed that he confronted actor Aparshakti Khurana regarding a controversial remark he made about the PR war.

During a Zoom interview, Aparshakti was asked about the credit war. He replied, “If I comment on this, it will go far,” and further stated that it was all a ‘PR game’ when asked about Shraddha Kapoor receiving credit for the film. Amar has now opened up about the matter. The Stree 2 director, in the same Zoom interview, said, “We video-called each other when the controversy around the credits surfaced online. We simply laughed about it.”

He added, “I even called Aparshakti after his statement. I asked him, ‘What was that?’ He said, ‘Paaji, I didn’t mean anything by it. You know how I talk.’ He then said, ‘I always laugh when I say such things, but this time, I just forgot to laugh, and it became serious.’ I then asked, ‘But what did you mean? What were you trying to say?’ He responded, ‘I was just talking, and the way she was asking questions, I just didn’t laugh.’ Aparshakti is very good at heart. When something bothers him, he simply blurts it out. He doesn’t bottle things up. He was like, ‘I’m just caught in the fan war.’”
