Abhishek Banerjee on Being Called the Nick Fury of Bollywood
Actor Abhishek Banerjee, who has charmed audiences with his hilarious and endearing portrayal of Jana in Maddock Films’ expanding Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), is winning hearts once again — this time, for an unexpected comparison. After his latest appearance in Thamma, fans have taken to social media calling him the “Nick Fury of Bollywood,” likening his recurring presence in the interconnected horror-comedy world to Samuel L. Jackson’s iconic role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Reacting to the buzz, Abhishek expressed his gratitude and amusement in a heartfelt statement. He shared,
“It feels amazing to see people draw parallels between Jana and Nick Fury — that’s a huge compliment! Every time I revisit Jana, I find something new in him. The love the audience gives him is just overwhelming. I’ve been a massive Avengers fan, and being compared to Samuel L. Jackson, who’s one of my all-time favorite actors, feels surreal. He’s the glue that binds the Marvel universe, and I guess Jana does something similar for the MHCU. I couldn’t be more thankful for a role like this.”

The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe began with Stree (2018), a sleeper hit starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, where Jana debuted as the loyal yet easily frightened friend. The film’s success paved the way for Bhediya (2022) featuring Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, and later Munjya (2024), which officially established the crossover universe.
With Stree 2 now in the works, Jana’s character has evolved into a vital thread connecting all the stories — serving as both comic relief and the emotional core of the MHCU. Fans have celebrated how Banerjee’s presence provides continuity, much like Nick Fury’s role in bringing together Marvel’s superheroes. – Abhishek Banerjee on Being Called the Nick Fury of Bollywood
As producer Dinesh Vijan continues to expand the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, Abhishek Banerjee’s Jana has become its most recognizable symbol — the character who ties together ghosts, werewolves, and ancient curses with laughter and heart.
From a frightened villager in Stree to the “glue” of Bollywood’s first connected supernatural franchise, Abhishek Banerjee has indeed carved a cinematic legacy — one jump scare at a time.
