Shraddha Kapoor’s Batti Gul Meter Chalu and Stree avoid clash

Actress Shraddha Kapoor’s two forthcoming films, Batti Gul Meter Chalu and Stree, which were scheduled to hit the marquee on the same date, will not collide at the box-office anymore.

Earlier, both films were gearing up to battle it out at the ticket window on 31st August. However, according to sources, only Stree will release on 31st August while the makers of Batti Gul Meter Chalu are planning to shift their film to September.


A source reveals to an Indian daily, “It doesn’t make sense to have two films of an actor coming on the same day. So, while Stree will release on August 31, BGMC will come in September, the final release date will be locked by the producers in a few days.”

Stree, which stars Shraddha Kapoor opposite Rajkummar Rao, will now lock horns with veteran actor Rishi Kapoor’s Rajma Chawal on the same day.

Besides Stree and Batti Gul Meter Chalu, Shraddha will also be seen in Prabhas’s Saaho. She is also doing a biopic on ace badminton player, Saina Nehwal. The biopic is titled Saina.

  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
