The promotional poster of the latest Bollywood blockbuster ‘Stree 2’, bears striking similarities with the Netflix original ‘Stranger Things’, which was noticed and pointed out by several movie fanatics upon its release last month, with many dubbing the move as ’embarrassing’.
Reacting to the matter, Banerjee said in a new interview, “Pata nahi, I have no idea. Yeh marketing aur poster woh log kis tarah se sochte hain humein kya pata (Who knows what happened. I have no idea how the marketing team involved with poster design came up with these ideas).”
“Hum toh actor hain. Hamara toh kaam hai poster pe aana, banana thodi hai (As an actor my job is to appear on those posters, not to make them),” he added.
