Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik, features Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana. It went on to gross Rs 900 crore in 2024 — one of the year’s biggest successes. The song ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ became an instant sensation, and Tamannaah’s sizzling dance moves, combined with the catchy beats of the song, made the track a fan favourite.
In a conversation with The Lallantop, Tamannaah spoke about the song, and shared how some women told her that their kids would only eat if Aaj Ki Raat were playing. She explained how it became a ritual of sorts: not for the kids, but for their mothers. “I can’t tell you the number of mothers that have called me up and said, ‘My child will eat food only if he hears Aaj Ki Raat’”, she said. Tamannaah further added that kids do not understand the lyrics of the song at such a tender age, but they do enjoy the music.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Tamannaah is now preparing for VVAN: Force of the Forest, directed by Deepak Mishra and Arunabh Kumar. Starring opposite Sidharth Malhotra, the film is a mythology-rooted thriller set deep in Central India. It’s scheduled to release on May 15.
