Abhishek Banerjee opens up about how it feels to be the face of a project
Abhishek Banerjee who completed a decade in the film industry has made a place in people’s hearts with his extremely versatile acting. He has demonstrated his acting prowess through his performance in projects like Mirzapur, Paatal Lok, Kaali, Unpaused, Ajeeb Daastaans, and Dream Girl. Abhishek Banerjee has entered a new stage of his career in which he is the public face of projects. He acknowledges that this position carries a great deal of pressure and responsibility.
In a recent chat, the actor said, “All these years, I wanted to establish myself as an actor first, work towards gaining the trust of the directors and the producers that ‘okay, we have one guy, and we can give them this particular part.”
The Stree actor further added, “This year has been very kind to me because I’ve been working nonstop. And I wish to continue doing this kind of work because I have done some really different characters, where I am playing a romantic role in one, a dumb guy in another, and a dark guy in one. I am experimenting a lot this time around. Also, the responsibility is more when you are leading a show or a film. Today, I feel more responsibility as an actor, and a creative individual to make the best product.”
The 37-year-old actor says he is overwhelmed and happy with the projects he is getting to do. He expressed, “It is a very different kind of responsibility. Earlier, I used to just act and not get worried about how a project will turn out to be. Now, when you are the leading face of a particular project, you think twice harder about everything.”
Abhishek Banerjee will be next seen in Bhediya, directed by Amar Kaushik. The horror film also stars Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles. The flick is slated to release in theatres on November 25, 2022.
