'Stree' has been directed by debutant director Amar Kaushik and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK under the banner of Maddock Films in association with D2RFilms. The film also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurrana, and Abhishek Banerjee appear in supporting roles. 

'Stree' was expected to run in the shadow of Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol starrer 'Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se'. But the film subverted the expectations and absolutely demolished the competition. In comparison, 'Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se' is having a dismal run and earned only Rs 3.62 crore in first two days. The Deol's film 'Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se' was touted as a big release of this week followed by 'Stree'. However, the horror-comedy left behind 'YPD: Phir Se' by miles.
