Writer talks about Sarkata
Stree 2 tells the story of the people of Chanderi being terrorised by an evil entity called Sarkata. They use Stree’s help to bring him to task. Talking to PTI, writer Niren Bhatt discussed the nuances of the film’s antagonist.
He said, “Some people complain that there is a lot of humour but less horror or vice versa but these are not horror films where actual ghosts are haunting people. All our ghosts are fallacies of our society. Sarkata is the most warped form of patriarchy.”
Niren added, “Stree is the symbol of matriarchy, she is not a witch. Bhediya is the protector of the forests. We have designed these characters in a certain way. We are not talking about hocus pocus or spirits out of the blue.”
Varun Dhawan reprised his role as Bhediya for the film.
