5 years of Stree: “I began my career with darker roles, but Stree gave an opportunity to embrace the humorous facets of my craft,” says Abhishek Banerjee

Filmmaker Amar Kaushik’s Stree is one of the few horror-comedies to have come from Bollywood. The film became a major success when it released in 2018. Apart from Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi, the film also starred Abhishek Banerjee in the interesting and funny role of Janaa. The actor will be reprising this character in the keenly awaited sequel of Stree titled Stree 2.

Looking back at the journey of Stree and ahead at Stree 2, Banerjee said in a statement, “Five years have passed since Janaa came to life. The journey this character has taken has been beyond my wildest imagination. Starting with Stree and expanding this character’s universe, Janaa’s evolution has been remarkable.”

 

Banerjee is also happy that Stree helped him come out of the image he had acquired during the start of his career. “While I began my film journey with darker roles, portraying Janaa gave me the opportunity to embrace the humorous facets of my craft,” he added. “I have enjoyed every minute of playing Janna. I have related to this character and have connected well with it. I am elated with the love that audience has showered on me for playing Janna and equally excited that Janna is going to come back soon with Stree 2.”

 

Stree was produced under Dinesh Vijan’s banner Maddock Films.
