Your sudden appearance in Thamma brings the house down. To what do you attribute this rousing response?
I think Jana as a character is so loved because he’s the most innocent and gullible one. The audience connects with that innocence and his proactiveness in these extreme situations.
Abhishek Banerjee talks Thamma, Bhediya 2, and his ever-growing bank balance
Your character Jana deserves a universe of his own, don’t you think?
I totally second that! (laughs) I’ve been telling Amar bhai (writer-producer Amar Kaushik) and Niren bhai (writer Niren Bhatt). But then, it can’t just be a creative call when it comes to putting money into a film. So let’s wait and watch. Maybe someday — fingers crossed.
When you were asked to be part of Thamma, what was your response?
The response is always positive! I’m just happy to be part of the MHCU (Maddock Horror Comedy Universe). In many ways, I’m lucky that I get to play Jana so often — it helps me build and sustain a relationship with the audience.
When do we get to see you back in the MHCU?
Very soon, hopefully. In Bhediya 2, of course — and maybe in other worlds too. It depends on when Jana is required in the universe!
Do you prefer dark or comic roles?
I don’t know if I prefer dark roles or if I just get those offers because of the evil character I played in Paatal Lok. Nevertheless, I truly enjoy them because they allow me to explore the darker side of my mind — which in turn helps me control it in real life.
Does your success reflect in your bank balance?
Coming from a lower-middle-class household, trust me — what I’ve achieved financially already feels like a dream come true for a working-class Indian family. That said, my bank balance is definitely amplifying with each project, and I’m looking forward to enjoying my money the way the top 1% of India’s affluent class does!
