Actor Abhishek Banerjee has spoken about whether his Stree 2 co-stars Shraddha Kapoor and Aparshakti Khurana have 'limited screentime' in the film. In an interview with Indian Express, he also reacted to the success of Stree 2. It is the sequel to the 2018 film Stree, which also featured all three actors.

Abhishek talks about 'limited screentime'

Abhishek said, "I didn't feel that way. If the audience feels that way, yeh toh unka pyaar hai (it is their love). This means that the work was good and they want more of it, unko lalach (greed) ho raha hai (laughs). Everybody who feels that either Aparshakti and Shraddha Kapoor have a limited screentime is because they have done great work."

The actor also said, “It is unbelievable. I am listening to beautiful stories about how people are enjoying the movie, whistling and clapping at every scene, and turning in the film, they are dancing to the songs. To be a part of a franchise that is so big and the audience is giving so much love, is very definitely a sense of achievement here."

What Abhishek had said about Stree 2 director

"Amar Kaushik ji is one of the most visionary filmmakers of our time. I was always too shy to approach big directors, but one day, I told him to keep me in mind for a role in his future projects. After watching my performance as a dark villain in a film directed by Devashish Makhija, Amar ji complimented me, saying I reminded him of Amrish Puri ji. That was a huge compliment for me. Later, when Stree was being made, I reminded him about giving me a role," he had said.
