Stree 2 has not only lived up to its predecessor but has also surpassed it in terms of box office success and audience reception. With a star-studded cast including Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, and Pankaj Tripathi, the sequel has been a major hit. However, one of the most talked-about aspects of the film is the special song Aaj Ki Raat, featuring Tamannaah Bhatia. In this piece, we decode the significant difference in remuneration between Tamannaah and Nora Fatehi, who performed in the original Stree (2018).
Tamannaah Bhatia sparkled Stree 2 has garnered massive praise from critics and audiences alike. The film has met expectations and, according to many, has even outdone the original. Its success is evident in the numbers—crossing ₹200 crores within four days of its release. The film’s trajectory indicates it is set to achieve even more significant milestones.
The Impact of Special Songs: From ‘Kamariya’ to ‘Aaj Ki Raat’
One of the key highlights of the original Stree was the special song Kamariya, performed by Nora Fatehi. The song became an instant hit, amassing over 371 million views on YouTube. For her performance in this chartbuster, Nora Fatehi reportedly charged ₹25 lakhs. This was a significant amount at the time, reflecting her rising popularity after her breakout performance in Dilbar from Satyameva Jayate 2.
Tamannaah Bhatia’s Record-Breaking Salary for ‘Aaj Ki Raat’
Fast forward to 2024, and Stree 2 introduces a new special song, Aaj Ki Raat, featuring Tamannaah Bhatia. According to multiple reports, Tamannaah charged a staggering ₹1 crore for her performance in the song, which is 300% higher than what Nora Fatehi received for Kamariya. This significant increase in remuneration highlights Tamannaah’s star power and the growing trend of higher payouts for top actresses in special song performances.
Not only has Aaj Ki Raat captivated audiences, but it has also been a digital sensation, surpassing 100 million views on YouTube within three weeks of its release. At this pace, it is poised to challenge the 300 million milestone set by Kamariya.
Beyond the Song: Tamannaah’s Cameo Role in Stree 2
