After wooing fans with his impressive acting skills, Rajkummar Rao is all set to take on the producer’s role with his upcoming film, Toaster co-starring Sanya Malhotra. During a recent conversation, Abhishek Banerjee talked about making a special appearance in the debut production of his Stree 2 co-star Rajkummar Rao.  

While speaking with Mid-day, Abhishek Banerjee revealed that he didn’t think twice before making a cameo appearance in Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra’s Toaster. He mentioned that he is always happy to share the screen space with his ‘Bicky’ of Stree and this was the perfect opportunity for him.

“We have evolved from colleagues to great friends. I knew I had to be there in any capacity possible for this project as Patralekhaa and he make their debut as producers,” he said further adding, “Now, it’s about backing each other, being there for each other’s dreams.”

He stated that they had worked together and knew that it would be fun again. He also stated that more than that, he also wanted to be a part of the new chapter in Rajkummar Rao’s career. “Watching him take charge as a producer and shape a film from the ground up was inspiring,” he stated.

It was earlier this week on Monday, February 3 that Rao announced his new film, Toaster produced by his wife, Patralekhaa. The special announcement was made at Netflix’s special event, where the streaming giant revealed the slate of their upcoming movies and series for the year 2025.

The story of upcoming comedy film revolves around a miser who is fixated to a toaster amid murder and mayhem. Directed by Vivek Das Chaudhary, the film led by Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra also features Archana Puran Singh, Upendra Limaye, Farah Khan, Abhishek Banerjee and Seema Pahwa in the key roles.

It marks the first film produced by Patralekhaa under her and Rao’s banner Kampa Films.

Last seen in Netflix series IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack, Patralekhaa reflected on working on the comedy film and revealed how she convinced her husband about the film over breakfast. “It was an overwhelming experience to see a one-pager turn into a project. We lucked out on the cast,” she said at the event.
