Earlier, Abhishek Banerjee also talked about the much-awaited sequel of Stree and said, "2023 is here!!! And I am very thrilled to kickstart this year, but looking back at the work I did last year- I was very nervous about JD aka Jana as it had to be similar yet difficult from Stree. But thankfully it was received well by the audience. Now the journey of Stree 2 will be super exciting.. recently I wrapped up Apurva. I'm thrilled to see how people will react to some very extreme characters. The playground is going to get bigger and better this year... so I am looking forward to it."

Meanwhile, Rajkummar will also be seen in an upcoming sports drama film Mr and Mrs Mahi opposite Janhvi Kapoor.
