Abhishek Banerjee, who is currently enjoying the success of his latest release, Stree 2, has opened up about the opportunities coming his way. The talented actor shared insights into his career decisions and the reception of his films.
Stree 2 Star Abhishek Banerjee on Getting Lead Roles After The Film’s Success.
With the massive success of Stree 2, Abhishek Banerjee revealed that he has started receiving offers to play lead roles. This marks a significant change from the types of roles he was previously offered. “Now, immediately, I have started getting offers for leads. 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 said, highlighting his desire to select roles that entertain audiences and bring something new.
Box Office Clash Between Stree 2 and Vedaa
Abhishek also spoke about the box office clash between Stree 2 and Vedaa, both of which were released around the same time. He described the experience as “bittersweet,” noting that while Vedaa, directed by Nikkhil Advani, performed well in metro cities with about 60% occupancy and audience applause during the climax, it faced tough competition from Stree 2. “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,” Banerjee commented on the overwhelming popularity of the horror-comedy sequel.
