Dinesh Vijan calls Akshay Kumar 'Thanos'

Akshay Kumar is not over with the world of Stree, which stars Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. The actor will be coming back again for the third part of Stree 3, as Dinesh Vijan compares him to Thanos of the Maddock horror comedy franchise.

This week, Maddock Films revealed their future production plans and reported that Stree 3 would be released in theaters on August 13 in 2027.

The speculations about Stree 3 began during the trailer launch of Sky Force where jokingly Akshay Kumar stated that the film marks his ‘dedh’ collaboration with Dinesh Vijan.

At the event, Akshay was asked if he would now be a part of the producer’s horror-comedy universe. To which, Akshay said, "What can I say? Dinesh and Jyoti (Deshpande; producer) will have to decide that. They’re the ones to pump in the money."

To that Akshay added, “Aur Amar Kaushik ko direct karna hai (And Amar Kaushik has to direct it)”. Amar Kaushik directed Stree 2, which worked really well at the box office in 2024.

Reacting to it, Dinesh confirmed the news, sharing, “Of course, he’s a part of the universe! He’s our Thanos (laughs)."

Stree 2 ended by hinting that Akshay will have a bigger role as a supervillain in the upcoming part.
