India — Nadine Theron Reveals Herself as Shraddha Kapoor’s Stunt Double on “Stree 2”
  • Nadine Theron says she was Shraddha Kapoor’s stunt double on “Stree 2.”
  • She posted her own behind-the-scenes footage of the wire work on harnesses and rigging.
  • Doubles on Hindi films are often uncredited, so her footage is the main record of the work.

South African stunt performer Nadine Theron has identified herself as the double behind the hazardous work in Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank (Maddock Films, dir. Amar Kaushik), posting her own behind-the-scenes footage as a “Movies Monday” entry. The clips cover the film’s signature flowing-hair Stree sequences and the wire work executed on safety harnesses and rigging — the material that reads on screen as supernatural motion and, on the day, is a performer on a line hitting marks in a heavy costume.

Theron’s posting the footage herself matters beyond the reveal. Doubles on Hindi productions are routinely uncredited in the public conversation around a film’s action, and first-party BTS is often the only durable record that a specific performer did the work. She also notes she served as body double for Alia Bhatt on YRF’s Alpha (2026), placing her on two of the larger recent Hindi action productions and pointing to the steady flow of international stunt performers into Indian features.

Neither Theron’s post nor the coverage names the action director or stunt coordinator on Stree 2, which remains the gap in the record.
