Abhishek Banerjee: “The confidence I lack in life, I seek in my characters”

Actor Abhishek Banerjee will be seen playing the menacing and intimidating character ‘Sukha’ in Disney+ Hotstar’s ‘Apurva’. When asked, what drew him to his character, he shares, “By nature, I am an introvert, who is finding stories that can be my way to be an extrovert. The confidence I lack in life, I seek in my characters.”

He further adds, “I enjoy playing negative roles that are about playing ‘Alpha’ and then also do comic roles where the audiences find me cute. I like to keep innovating with my roles which brings immense satisfaction to me as an actor.”

Apurva is the story of an ordinary girl who faces extraordinary circumstances and will do anything to Survive and Live. Set in one of the most dangerous places in India – Chambal, the movie is presented by some of India’s leading creative powerhouses who have come together for this gritty thriller.
