Abhishek Banerjee on bond with Amar Kaushik

Abhishek Banerjee is a critically acclaimed actor who has lately been in the news for his compelling performance in a variety of Bollywood films and shows. The actor made his breakthrough with Amar Kaushik’s horror-comedy film, Stree. This actor-director duo has shared a strong bond ever since they worked together on the 2011 film, No One Killed Jessica. In a recent interaction with Mid Day, the actor revealed that Amar Kaushik had been asking him to try his luck in acting ever since they met as casting associate and associate director, on the sets.

Abhishek Banerjee is of the stance that the director had recognised his talent long before his first role in Go Goa Gone. He said that Amar would always ask him to do random roles when he felt that the character would suit him. However, Abhishek would tell him that he will act when the time is right. A few years later, Amar Kaushik offered him a scene in Go Goa Gone and promised him ₹5000 for an hour's work.
