"Not my job to cast a star" - Abhishek Banerjee Interview with Sucharita Tyagi | Stree 2, Vedaa

Abhishek Banerjee has won everyone's heart as Jana in Stree 2. I've known him since 2007 when we were both in Delhi, so it almost felt like catching up with a friend. He spoke with me about his journey from Kirori Mal days, the community of people who supported him in Bombay, actors being replaced by social media influencers, how life changed post Stree 2 and so much more in this interview.
