Jio Studios’ 2024 Festive Line-Up: Stree 2, and Baby John
Yesterday, fans and the film trade community were treated to a surprise announcement: Baby John will now be released on Christmas Day, December 25, 2024. Originally set for a May 31 release, the movie’s rescheduling marks a strategic move by Jio Studios. This change is part of a broader plan to secure major holiday weekends for their highly anticipated films. As a result, Jio Studios has successfully locked in the three biggest festive periods of the second half of 2024 for their exciting releases: Stree 2 on Independence Day (August 15), Singham Again on Diwali, and Baby John on Christmas. This decision underscores Jio Studios’ strategy to capitalize on festive periods, traditionally known for attracting larger audiences to cinemas.
Stree 2: A Much-Awaited Sequel
Stree 2, the sequel to the 2018 horror-comedy blockbuster Stree, is set to hit theaters on August 15, 2024, coinciding with India’s Independence Day. The original film’s success has set high expectations for this follow-up. The star-studded cast includes Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Pankaj Tripathi. Directed by Amar Kaushik and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, Stree 2 promises to deliver a blend of horror and comedy that fans have come to love.
The film is generating even more buzz following the success of Munjya, another film set in the same cinematic universe. The anticipation is palpable as audiences look forward to another thrilling and entertaining experience. Stree 2 aims to build on the original’s legacy while introducing new elements that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Jio Studios
