Bhumi spoke about Stree 2 audition

Speaking to the portal, she continued, “Initially, I had auditioned for another role in Stree 2. But they loved my audition and when I was offered the titular role, I went blank. To be sure, they asked me to scream at the top of my voice. It was the funniest audition of my life! However, the makers told me, ‘Since you will be playing a ghost, aap ki shakal nahi dikhegi (your face wouldn’t be visible)’.”

She also added, “My family was apprehensive because they said nobody would know that I was in the film. But I did not want to let go of the opportunity to work with such terrific co-actors, who are so grounded. I learnt a lot by watching them and Shraddha (Kapoor) was really sweet to me. My only regret is that I did not have any scenes with Pankaj (Tripathi) sir.”
