Actor Varun Dhawan on Friday denied that he is part of the sequel to the hit horror comedy Stree. Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree emerged as a box office winner last year, with producer Dinesh Vijan announcing that he would be coming out with a sequel as a part of his ambitious horror-comedy franchise. There were reports that Varun would be headlining the film, which originally featured Rajkummar Rao.

When asked if he would be a part of "Stree 2", the actor told reporters, "No, it's false." He was speaking at a special event of "Kalank" at Ishq 104.8 FM.
