The mystery surrounding Stree 2 has left fans eagerly searching for answers, especially about the enigmatic figure known as “Sirkate.” The entire nation is curious—who is this Sirkate who dared to challenge Stree? While the film’s makers and actors have kept this secret under wraps, we have the inside scoop for you. On NewsNCR Hindi Digital, we’re revealing the secret of Sirkate before anyone else.
The Truth Behind Sirkate’s Face
According to exclusive information from reliable sources, the face of Sirkate in Stree 2 isn’t that of a real person. Instead, it’s a creation by a team of talented prosthetic makeup artists. The filmmakers sketched the concept of Sirkate and then searched for a person whose facial structure could be used as a base for the VFX version of this terrifying character.
The search led them to a sportsman whose profile closely matched the sketch of Sirkate. He was brought in, and a prosthetic face was crafted using his facial features. The prosthetic was then enhanced with VFX and CGI, transforming it into the menacing figure seen on screen. This process required meticulous attention to detail, and the result is a face that’s both eerie and unforgettable.
The Inspiration Behind Sirkate
The creation of Sirkate’s face was a labor-intensive process. A team of 3-4 makeup artists worked tirelessly to sculpt the prosthetic, turning a human face into that of a demon. After filming, the face was further refined using VFX and CGI, making it so terrifying that it’s guaranteed to make audiences scream in theaters. However, the transformation of Sirkate from human to demon has been kept a closely guarded secret by the Stree team, with no official confirmation yet.
The Role of Prosthetics in Horror Films
Before Stree 2, makeup artist Aatish and his team had also worked on horror films like Munjya and Kakuda. In Munjya, they created prosthetics for Sharvari Wagh and designed the look for Mahesh Jadhav, who played the character of Kakuda. Despite advancements in VFX and CGI technology, prosthetics remain a key tool in horror comedies, helping filmmakers create effective and realistic-looking characters.
The use of traditional prosthetics, combined with modern technology, allows for a more immersive and convincing portrayal of horror elements on screen. This blend of old and new techniques is what makes films like Stree 2 stand out.
The Unsung Heroes Behind the Camera
In my review of Stree 2, I mentioned that the real hero of the film is Sirkate’s terrifying presence. However, it’s important to acknowledge the contributions of the many people who work behind the scenes. A film is the result of the hard work of about 200 to 300 individuals, including makeup artists, spot boys, VFX specialists, stylists, and creative directors. Without their collective efforts, bringing a movie to life would be not only challenging but nearly impossible.
