Abhishek Banerjee recently shared a post from Chennai on Instagram, sparking interest not just because he’s working on a new project, but also because the city holds a special place in his heart. Although he was born in Kharagpur, he grew up in Kalpakkam, a coastal town near Chennai, and spent much of his childhood there. So, returning to Tamil Nadu for a shoot feels deeply personal to him.

He’s currently in Chennai filming a new, yet-to-be-announced project, right at a time when his acting career is gaining momentum. His performance in Paatal Lok continues to draw praise, and Stolen has been creating a buzz, especially among Tamil audiences. His increasing popularity in the South adds more significance to this moment.
For Abhishek, being back in Chennai feels like coming home. A source close to the actor shared that the city brings back many childhood memories — from the local food to the smell of the sea and the rhythm of monsoon rains. Although the new project’s details are still under wraps, the experience of shooting in a place that once shaped his early life has made this journey special for both him and his team.
