Shraddha Kapoor Exits Ekta Kapoor’s Upcoming Film! Here’s What Went Wrong

After the success of Stree 2, fans were eagerly waiting to see Shraddha Kapoor on screen. The actress was in talks with Ekta Kapoor for a thriller directed by Tumbbad fame Rahi Anil Barve. But now it has hit a pause.

According to a report by PeepingMoon, Shraddha has exited the project after a fee dispute. She was reportedly demanding ₹17 crore along with a share in the film’s profits, a price tag that Ekta Kapoor reportedly felt high especially for a women centric film. Sources say the producers were concerned the high fee would tip the entire budget off balance.

The film plot is under the wraps but reportedly it is being described as a high-concept thriller. Reportedly the makers have begun talks with another actress to take her place. However, no official confirmation has been made yet.

On the work front, Shraddha is officially signed for Stree 3, which is scheduled for release on August 13, 2027. There are also rumors that she’s in discussions with producer Dinesh Vijan, Bhushan Kumar, and Boney Kapoor for upcoming projects, though nothing is confirmed yet.
