Sometimes, a small decision can make a significant impact. In the case of Stree 2, one such decision played a crucial role in its major box office success.
Initially, Nora Fatehi was slated to perform a special song in Stree 2, as she had done in the first film. However, for the sequel, the filmmakers decided to replace Nora with Tamannaah. This turned out to be a great choice.
Tamannaah’s item song, “Aaj Ki Raat,” became one of the standout moments of Stree 2. Released ahead of the film, the song quickly garnered over a million views on YouTube, generating buzz before the movie even hit theaters.

Many believe that the song wouldn’t have had the same impact if Nora had been retained. Tamannaah reportedly received a payment of ₹1 crore for her performance, despite having just five minutes of screen time. The decision to invest in her talent paid off, as her dance moves became a highlight of the film.
In the end, both Stree 2 and Tamannaah’s performance were well-received, proving that the right casting can truly make a difference. Tamannaah’s contribution played a key role in the film’s success.
