Team Stree amused by Rajkummar Rao’s fear of bats

Filmmakers usually opt for virgin locations to shoot their movies, and sometimes, they even find places that are hardly visited even by locals. The makers of Stree, a horror-comedy that is releasing later this month, did exactly that. They found a cave in Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh, to shoot an intense sequence that required Rajkummar Rao to walk in with a fire torch.

While giving the second take, the currently-in-demand actor suddenly froze in his tracks. His ears caught the sound of loud squeaks being made by a colony of bats that were inhabiting the cave. Petrified with this discovery, the Fanney Khan actor rushed out of the cave and insisted that a few crew members walk in first and stay there with him till he finished his shoot.

While it was a scary experience for Rajkummar, the team had a good laugh seeing the actor’s expression. Of course, being the sport he is, Raj just laughed off the entire incident.
