The script is almost locked and work is in progress on the dialogue draft. Stree 2 moves into the pre-production stage by April and the makers are targeting to take it on floors from July this year,” said an insider close to the development, adding further that Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao will return to the franchise for newer, more exciting adventures.
