Abhishek Banerjee described his experience portraying Jana throughout the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe as exceptionally meaningful, noting how the character has transformed from a simple figure in Stree into a connector weaving through multiple narratives. The performer told a media outlet that nobody anticipated this eccentric individual would become such a vital element linking various films when he initially appeared.
Banerjee praised director Amar Kaushik, producer Dinesh Vijan, writer Niren Bhatt and their collaborative team for preserving the essence of Jana while adapting him across different settings and periods in productions like the Stree franchise, Bhediya, Munjya and Thamma. He explained that returning to portray this figure repeatedly reveals fresh methods of maintaining his relevance and humor without forcing his presence. The actor emphasized his fortune in inhabiting one role across numerous projects while audiences continue seeking more appearances.
The character appeared most recently in Thamma, which centers on a reporter portrayed by Ayushmann Khurrana who becomes entangled in conflicts between vampires played by Rashmika Mandanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. This vampire-themed production connects to the broader Maddock Horror Comedy Universe and features a crossover with Varun Dhawan's Bhediya.
