MUMBAI: Abhishek Banerjee has been considered as one of the rising stars of 2020 for outshining and stunning the audience by delivering back to back stellar performances. From stealing the show with his facial expressions as Hathoda Tyagi in ‘Paatal Lok’ to tickling the funny bones as a nurse a.k.a Munna in ‘PariWar’ to striking the right chord with his noteworthy performance as a migrant worker in ‘Unpaused’, Abhishek has consistently won the hearts of the audience. The actor, who was busy shooting for his upcoming project ‘Rashmi Rocket’, has wrapped up the shoot.
Abhishek is playing an interesting, unique and a never seen before avatar in ‘Rashmi Rocket’. With the announcement of the shoot wrap of the film, the talented actor shares his experience of shooting with Taapsee Pannu and camaraderie with director Akarsh Khurana. “Priyanshu Painyuli, Akarsh and I know each other for 15 years! For me, the entire experience of working with Akarsh was to going back to my roots as I had worked with him when I used to do theatre for a theatre festival called ‘Thespo’ in Mumbai and after that we have worked and collaborated for ‘Rashmi Rocket’. Also, the set had all the people I knew from before. I have always told Taapsee that I am her fan. I watch a lot of Tamil movies and after watching ‘Aadukalam’ which she did with Dhanush, I was her fan.”
He added, “I used to often tell her this whenever we used to interact during my casting days and unfortunately because of something or the other we couldn’t collaborate but finally I got to act with her and that was a great experience. Taapsee is a solid, determined and very hardworking actress. Priyanshu is someone whom I have known for many years. I had cast him in the beginning for ‘Rock On 2’ and he has been a friend since then. We three had a great time and so much fun together. For me, this is a very interesting and different character, so I am quite excited about it.”
On the work front, Abhishek is all set to entertain the viewers with Amar Kaushik’s ‘Bhediya’, Umesh Shukla’s ‘Aankh Micholi’ and Satram Ramani’s ‘Helmet’.
