Varun Dhawan's Bhediya 2 update!
In an interview with
Bollywood Hungama, Amar was asked if the intention to take different route for
Bhediya's cameo in
Thamma than
Stree 2. The filmmaker revealed, "Yes. When we made
Bhediya (2022), we could have made him bigger and stronger. But we had seen that a lot in the films of the West and I didn’t want to repeat it. Also, it didn’t fascinate me then. Our story was about animals saving the forest and hence,
Bhediya should be like any other creature."The filmmaker further revealed how Varun reacted to his cameo in Ayushmann and Rashmika's
Thamma. "He’s very happy and putting pressure on me to make
Bhediya 2 soon," he added.
