Vicky Kaushal’s “Oops” Moment: Turns Down Stree, Misses Out on Sequel’s ₹800 Crore Jackpot

Welcome to the magical, mystical, and sometimes maddening world of Bollywood with your favorite nosy snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha! 🕵️‍♀️ Buckle up for some spicy tidbits and a dash of drama from the land of dreams, stars, and sequins!

Vicky Kaushal Roars at the Box Office!
Hold onto your popcorn, folks! Vicky Kaushal’s latest flick, ‘Chhaava,’ has not just made a splash—it’s created a tidal wave at the box office! This historical action drama has not only captured the critics’ hearts but has also become Vicky’s biggest opener yet. Who would’ve thought that the boy who wowed us in movies like Raazi, Sanju, Uri: The Surgical Strike, and Sardar Udham would now be the king of the box office jungle?

The One That Got Away
But wait, even stars have their regrets! Picture this: back in 2018, the horror-comedy ‘Stree’ became the talk of the town, turning Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao into household names. But here’s the kicker—Vicky Kaushal was almost the man behind the famous ‘Vicky, please!’ line! Yes, our charming Vicky was initially offered the lead role before Rajkummar Rao. 🧐

In a candid chat on Neha Dhupia’s show, Vicky confessed his one that got away. He was busy filming ‘Manmarziyaan’ and had to let ‘Stree’ slip through his fingers. When Neha quizzed him about his biggest movie regret, he simply sighed, “Stree, because I was doing Manmarziyaan at the same time.”

Box Office Bonanza: Stree and Its Sequel
Let’s talk numbers—’Stree’ was a runaway hit, raking in a whopping 180 crores worldwide. But hold your breath, ‘Stree 2’ in 2024 left its predecessor in the dust, grossing a jaw-dropping 857 crores globally in its first week! Talk about a sequel smashing records! 😲

Chhaava: The Opening Day Sensation
Back to ‘Chhaava’—this film’s opening day was nothing short of spectacular. According to insiders, it has become the biggest opener of 2025, leaving other releases like Sky Force, Emergency, Deva, Azaad, and Badass Ravi Kumar eating its dust! Predictions are swirling that this epic saga might just cross the 100-crore mark over its first weekend. Vicky, you’re on fire! 🔥

Nisha’s Nutshell
In the grand circus of Bollywood, sometimes you win some, and sometimes you lose a ‘Stree.’ But hey, every cloud has a silver screen lining, and Chhaava’s roaring success just proves that sometimes the universe has bigger plans for you! So, the moral of the story? In Bollywood, it’s always a blockbuster or a blooper—no in-between! 🎬
