Abhishek Banerjee is currently enjoying a wave of success, thanks to his standout performance as Jana in Stree 2. The film has been a massive hit, with audiences and critics alike praising Abhishek’s portrayal of the beloved character Jana. Simultaneously, he has garnered admiration for his villainous role in Vedaa, a film starring John Abraham and Sharvari, which coincided with the release of Stree 2. While this moment is already a highlight in his career, Abhishek has another exciting milestone on the horizon—sharing the screen with the legendary Amitabh Bachchan in the upcoming film Section 84.
For many actors, working with Amitabh Bachchan is a dream come true, and Abhishek is thrilled to have this incredible opportunity. In a recent interview with Sucharita Tyagi on her YouTube channel, Abhishek talked about his admiration for the veteran actor. Recalling his college days, Abhishek Banerjee mentioned that his teachers used to tease him by comparing him to Amitabh Bachchan’s character from Deewar, due to his similar body language. Abhishek laughed as he recalled his teachers calling him “Deewar ka Amitabh,” a nickname that made him feel like a fan from a very young age. The Stree 2 actor said, “Meri chaal waisi thi.”
Further in this piece of entertainment news, the Bhediya actor shared a special memory from the set of Section 84. In an interview with PTI earlier, Abhishek Banerjee recounted how he couldn’t resist capturing the moment when Amitabh Bachchan first walked onto the set. The sight of the megastar instantly brought back memories of the many films he grew up watching. Abhishek felt like he was living in a nostalgic era, surrounded by the legendary actor’s iconic dialogue and action scenes.
When he first received the role in Section 84, Abhishek was clearly excited. The Paatal Lok star admitted that he didn’t even need to hear the full details of the film before agreeing to it. As soon as he heard that Big B was involved, he immediately said yes, without any hesitation. The opportunity to play a role alongside his idol was too big to pass up.
