A Quick Recap on Stree 2, Khel Khel Mein, and Vedaa:
‘Stree 2' is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2018 hit horror-comedy ‘Stree,' bringing back the dynamic trio of Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, and Pankaj Tripathi. On the other hand, ‘Vedaa' stars John Abraham and Sharvari, promising some serious action thrills.
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar, known for his patriotic and socially-driven films released around Independence Day, returns to the big screen with ‘Khel Khel Mein.'
