Varun Dhawan and Rajkummar Rao bring their playful rivalry to life in the music video for the new song `Khoobsurat` from the upcoming film Stree 2. The video, released by Saregama Music on Friday, has already started gaining attention for its vibrant energy and the sizzling chemistry between the trio.

A Nostalgic Rivalry

In Khoobsurat, Varun and Rajkummar`s rivalry over Shraddha Kapoor`s character is reminiscent of the iconic 2008 song `Desi Girl,` where Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham humorously competed for Priyanka Chopra`s attention in Dostana. Similarly, Varun reprises his role as Bhediya, arriving at an old haveli and instantly becoming captivated by Shraddha`s mysterious and alluring witch. The video captures the essence of a fun, light-hearted competition, with both actors trying to outdo each other to win her affection.

Shraddha Kapoor`s Enigmatic Presence

Much like Priyanka`s unforgettable appearance in Desi Girl, Shraddha Kapoor stuns in Khoobsurat, wearing a beautiful sari paired with a backless blouse. Her character, an unnamed witch, exudes a captivating charm that leaves both Varun and Rajkummar enchanted. As Varun`s Bhediya praises her beauty, the video showcases their electric chemistry, setting the tone for a visually captivating song.

However, Rajkummar`s character Vicky isn`t far behind in expressing his admiration. He enters the scene, visibly upset to see Varun dancing with Shraddha, and attempts to win her over. Yet, Shraddha`s witch repeatedly returns to Varun, creating a playful tug-of-war between the two men. The camaraderie between Varun and Rajkummar towards the end, as they leave the haveli leaning on each other`s shoulders, further echoes the bond seen between John and Abhishek in Dostana.

A Team of Talented Creators

The song Khoobsurat is brought to life by the vocals of Vishal Mishra, Sachin Sanghvi, and Jigar Saraiya. The lyrics are penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, known for his poetic and catchy writing, while the choreography, which adds a dynamic visual element to the song, is directed by Vijay Ganguly.

What to Expect from Stree 2

Khoobsurat is just a glimpse of the excitement that Stree 2 promises to deliver. The trailer released by Maddock Films last month hints at a thrilling continuation of the Stree saga. Shraddha`s witch and Rajkummar`s Vicky face off against a headless monster named Sirkata, who terrorizes the town of Chanderi by kidnapping girls. This storyline builds on the events of the original 2018 film, where Shraddha`s character gained the powers of Stree after intertwining her braid with that of the ghost.

Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 is expected to be a standout horror-comedy, much like its predecessor. The film boasts a talented ensemble cast including Vijay Raaz, Aparshakti Khurana, Pankaj Tripathi, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Abhishek Banerjee. With a screenplay written by Niren Bhatt, who also penned the original movie, and production backed by Dinesh Vijan and Jio Studios, Stree 2 is set to be one of the most anticipated films of the year.

As the release date draws closer, Khoobsurat offers a delightful preview of the humor, drama, and supernatural elements that will make Stree 2 a must-watch for fans of the genre.
