Abhishek Banerjee is basking in the success of Stree 2 at the box office. The actor plays Jana in the horror-comedy film.

‘Hamara toh kaam hai poster pe aana’
Talking about the issue, Abhishek said, “Pata nahi, I have no idea. Yeh marketing aur poster woh log kis tarah se sochte hain humein kya pata. Hum toh actor hain. Hamara toh kaam hai poster pe aana, banana thodi hai (Who knows what happened. I have no idea how the marketing team involved with poster design come up with these ideas. My job is to appear on those posters, not to make them).”
Both the Stranger Things 2 poster and the Stree 2 poster follow the same colour schemes of a blue background in the lower half and an orange background in the upper half, with the movie title spelled out in red. Only the cast positioning and titles are different.
