2021 has been by far the best year for me, says Abhishek Banerjee

With the Netflix anthologies Ajeeb Daastaans and Ankahi Kahaniya and the films Helmet and Rashmi Rocket under his belt, Abhishek Banerjee has maintained a steady presence online. The actor will remain occupied next year too as he has already begun filming for the Voot series The Great Weddings of Munnes in which he plays the lead.

Banerjee, who also runs the agency Casting Bay, recently played a lawyer for the first time in Rashmi Rocket, starring Taapsee Pannu, and is eager to try something new with his next project.

The actor, who has back-to-back projects lined up, said, “I had a lot of fun during Dream Girl (2019) and since then me and Raj [Shaandilyaa] sir have a special relationship. We have been waiting and wanting to work with each other and one day he just narrated to me the story of The Great Weddings of Munnes and I immediately loved what I heard. We were looking forward to collaborating. We have already started the shoot and it's already looking like a lot of fun.”

He said, “Great actors and great ambience is what you need for a great show so I am looking forward [to it]. I can't begin to express my happiness. This year has been by far the best year for me and a lot of projects have come my way and I just feel so overwhelmed with all the releases that happened this year and are lined up for the next year.”

Besides starring in The Great Weddings of Munnes, Banerjee will also be seen in the films Bhediya, Aankh Micholi and Dostana 2 as well a Telugu thriller film.
