Abhishek Banerjee’s Full Circle Moment in Chennai
Abhishek Banerjee’s recent Instagram post from Chennai sent fans into a frenzy, not just because he’s shooting something new, but because the city holds deeper roots for him. Born in Kharagpur but raised in the coastal township of Kalpakkam, just an hour from Chennai, Abhishek spent much of his childhood soaking in Tamil Nadu’s culture, food, and monsoon skies.
Now, years later, he’s back, this time in front of the camera and filming an undisclosed project in Chennai. The timing couldn’t be more perfect. With Paatal Lok gaining cult status and Stolen receiving a thunderous response in Tamil Nadu film circles, Abhishek’s fanbase in the South has never been stronger.
A source shares:
“Chennai and Kalpakkam hold a special place in Abhishek’s childhood memories. The local food, the sea breeze, the monsoon rains, it all feels familiar to him. Returning here for a shoot feels like coming full circle for the Stolen actor. While details of the project are still under wraps, shooting in this new environment has been a unique and meaningful experience for him and his team.”
For many, it feels like a cinematic homecoming the boy from Kalpakkam returning as one of India’s most intriguing screen talents. The excitement is real, and this time, it’s personal.
