At a recent IIFA 2024 press conference, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan took a moment to laud Abhishek Banerjee’s performance in the highly anticipated film Stree 2. Shah Rukh expressed his admiration for AbhishekтАЩs acting skills, highlighting how the actor has consistently delivered powerful performances, with Stree 2 being no exception. Shah RukhтАЩs acknowledgment of BanerjeeтАЩs talent added to the growing anticipation for the horror-comedy sequel.
In a lighter moment, Shah Rukh also playfully advised filmmaker Karan Johar to return to his roots in filmmaking rather than focusing on hosting shows. During the press briefing, Abhishek, who will co-host IIFA Rocks with Siddhant Chaturvedi, was spotted ogling Shah Rukh. Following his amazing film (Stree 2), the Jawan actor addressed Abhishek when he entered the stage, saying, “Abhishek, it is so wonderful to see you after seeing your wonderful film (Stree 2). I have been wanting to call you.”
In addition, SRK made light of rejoining IIFA after more than ten years. He remarked, “They have called me just once before. Now they invited me after a decade. I would have always loved to come, but unfortunately, IIFA was hosted at the times when I was shooting.” He jokingly pointed at Karan Johar and remarked, тАЬPlease come for the rehearsals, Karan. He has told me he will not rehearse. He wants to do it on Zoom. Make some movies also, brother, how much will you host.тАЭ
