“People think item song should’ve vulgar lyrics, but I was clear that while the song should be entertaining and fit the film, it should have meaningful lyrics,” he added.
According to Kaushik, people must be aware of what they want to convey through their movies.
While acknowledging that the audience come to theaters to watch item songs, he was particular about quality and respectfulness in the item song of ‘Stree 2.’
The Bollywood filmmaker maintained he had made it clear that the lyrics would not go below the belt as ‘Stree 2’ was not about that.
“You say what you want to say. It should have expressions but people should realise later that one has said something deep in the lyrics,” he said of Tamannaah Bhatia’s ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ song.
When asked if he was concerned about the message being overshadowed by the item number, Amar Kaushik said that he could not have expressed it like a spiritual song.

‘Stree 2’, the fifth title in Maddock Films’ Supernatural Universe and a sequel to the 2018 hit, opened in theatres last month, scoring the biggest opening of the year, in the Box Office clash with “Khel Khel Mein” and “Vedaa.”
