In an interview with a publication, Amar Kaushik revealed that he was hesitant in approaching Tamannaah because of the bald look she had to sport in the movie. He said that just like the first Stree film, the sequel also demanded them to have a dance number. However, this time, they thought of giving meaning to it. Amar said wanted artists who could dance well and someone who was a good actress.
