Kumar’s unexpected appearance, which occurs during the film’s end credits, has sparked considerable excitement among viewers and speculations about his future involvement in Maddock Films’ expanding supernatural universe.

The cameo has been particularly notable for its impact on fans, who have drawn comparisons between Kumar’s role and the iconic Thanos from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Observers suggest that Kumar’s character may emerge as a formidable antagonist within the Stree franchise, potentially influencing future installments as significantly as Thanos did in Marvel’s storyline.

In addition to Kumar, Varun Dhawan, who plays ‘Bhediya’, a part-human, part-wolf character in the Maddock universe, also made a special appearance. With a strong ensemble cast including Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, and Pankaj Tripathi, Stree 2 is positioned as a potential box office hit, particularly for Kumar, who has been seeking a major success after a series of underwhelming performances.
