Abhishek Banerjee is currently receiving a lot of love for his amazing performances in Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao starrer Stree 2 and John Abraham, Sharvari Wagh’s Vedaa. Both are clashing at the box office along with Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu’s Khel Khel Mein.
Banerjee recently spoke to News 18 Showsha when he revealed that soon after the success of Stree 2, he immediately started to get offers for lead roles.
He said, “I wasn’t getting these offers earlier. The ones I was being offered were tight and low-budget. I got three offers last week. I will start reading and choosing what to do next. It makes a big difference.”
He further added, “Mujhe bohot maza aata hai commercial films karne main, logo ko entertain karne main. Mujhe utna hi maza aata hai Stolen jaisi films karne main. As an actor, I cannot do boring stuff, that’s it.”
He shared his thoughts on Stree 2 massive success as well and said, “The problem is that Stree is a juggernaut. Since it is also a sequel, the audience is already in sync with the characters. Nobody imagined Stree to be such a big monster. I knew it would be a monster, but not that it would become Godzilla.”
Abhishek further acknowledged that commercial films give makers more power to continue making such movies. He added that not everyone can make a Laapataa Ladies like Aamir Khan or a 12th Fail like Vidhu Vinod Chopra. “They can do it because of their commercial success,” he concluded.
Stree 2 also stars Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Aparshakti Khurana and Pankaj Tripathi in important roles.
On the work front, Abhishek is yet to choose from the three scripts for his lead role. He also has Suriya 44 in his pipeline.
