"Breaking news of selection to other actors but not able to get that call of getting selected" - Abhishek

Abhishek Banerjee rose to fame with the blockbuster horror-comedy ‘Stree’ starring Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurrana and Shraddha Kapoor. Abhishek’s character Jana – the eccentric best friend of Rajkummar and Aparshakti became a household name and was hugely appreciated by the audience and critics.

On the occasion of the movie completing three years of its release, Abhishek recollects how it changed his life for the better.   

Sharing his thought and how the film changed his life, Abhishek says,

Stree basically changed my life. Before that, it was like ten years of rejection and not getting an acting job, not able to crack auditions, even though I was a casting director – breaking news of selection to other actors but not able to get that call of getting selected...So this one film (Stree) completely boosted my confidence, my morale and my belief in myself and of course I made friends for life. It’s like that one day of me getting that call that I’m doing Stree completely changed the way I am living life.

Thanking the cast and crew of the horror comedy, Abhishek took to his social media account and shared behind the scenes photos and wrote alongside:

“3 years ago… My life changed ???? Thank You to each one of you for showing so much love and support”

Abhishek has an interesting line up of different genre films including ‘Helmet’, ‘Ankahi Kahaniya’, ‘Rashmi Rocket’, ‘Bhediya’, ‘Aankh Micholi’, ‘Dostana 2’, and an untitled Telugu film.
