Maddock Films' horror comedy universe just got bigger and better! Dinesh Vijan's production company recently announced a massive slate of its upcoming spooky comedy films. While existing films' upcoming installments were announced, new projects were added to the universe. Abhishek Banerjee, who played Jana in Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya, recently reacted to the possibility of reprising his character in Maddock's upcoming spooky comedy films.
Will Abhishek Banerjee be back as Jana?
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Abhishek Banerjee shared his thoughts about Maddock Films' mega update on its horror-comedy universe. The actor's character Jana has a knack for attracting ghosts and demons. And that makes his role a strong one in this universe.
"In Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya, the audience have seen Jana and about the other projects, well let’s just say Jana Bhooton (ghosts) aur Daanavo (demons) ka favourite hai toh kuchh bhi ho sakta hai. But yes, not just as an actor but as someone who loves this genre this is a great start to 2025," he told the entertainment portal.
