Kahaani actor to match wits with Byomkesh Bakshi

The actor is playing a pivotal role in Dibakar Banerjee’s Byomkesh Bakshi
Anindya Banerjee can’t stop thanking his stars. After all, the actor is playing a pivotal role in Dibakar Banerjee’s Byomkesh Bakshi. “I play one of the main villains and it is not a blink-and-miss role, as I will be shooting for 15 days in Mumbai and Kolkata. It’s not like my role of a taxi driver in Kahaani, which was very small.They auditioned me for three roles and then selected me for Profulla’s character. They gave me a three-page script and told me to act. To my utter surprise, they appreciated my acting so much that I am all nerves now, as their expectations must have doubled,” said Anindya.
The actor is currently shooting for Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury’s Buno Haansh, where he plays Moon Moon Sen’s Man Friday. “This is for the first time that I am working with Dev, Aniruddhada and Moon Moondi and I must admit that it is a fantastic team, where each actor is treated equally. Moondi plays the main villain in Buno Haansh, where I play her aide,” the actor added.
Anindya is also part of Sudip Das’s Sabdo Kolpo Druum, where he plays a terrorist. “For a change, my character in Somnath Gupta’s Daaker Saaj has positive shades,” he said. Isn’t he bored of playing negative characters so often? “Not at all! Negative roles give me a high, as I get to prove my mettle as an actor. I love it when the audience sends letters, mails, messages to the production team of megaserial Sokhi, threatening to kill me, as I play an out-and-out negative character. There lies my success! And I do all the notorious things with a smiling face. I think that is what clicks,” laughed Anindya.
