- Narrates his journey from struggling actor to acclaimed performer

Abhishek Banerjee, a rising star in the Hindi film industry, has made a comeback to the stage with his solo act 'Tu Kya Hai?' last month. The performance, which took place at Mumbai's NCPA on September 28, 2025, saw the actor narrating his life story in a thoroughly humorous manner.
One of the highlights of the show was Banerjee's witty reference to Aryan Khan's upcoming Netflix series 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood'. While discussing the struggles of actors, he quipped, "Some star kids also become directors," hinting at Khan's directorial debut. Banerjee also made a lighthearted remark about the recent Wankhede stadium controversy.
The actor, known for his versatile roles in acclaimed projects like Paatal Lok and Stolen, started the show in an unexpected way, with security guards trying to remove him from the audience area as they couldn't recognize him. From there, he engaged the audience with his engaging and funny storytelling, giving special emphasis to his career as a casting director.
The solo performance, produced by Toodles Production and organized by Aditya Birla Centre for Performing Arts, was well-received by the audience, including filmmaker Amar Kaushik, who has directed Banerjee in successful films like Stree and Bhediya.
