MUMBAI: Abhishek Banerjee offered an unexpected and heartfelt insight into the world of rising talent—and at the center of it all was none other than Siddhant Chaturvedi. Known for his own versatile acting chops, Banerjee surprised listeners when, during a segment when asked to name the rarest gem in the industry, he chose to shine the spotlight on Siddhant Chaturvedi, calling him a “RARE pick” among the current generation of actors.
While many would expect industry veterans or more established stars to top such a list, Banerjee’s praise for Siddhant was both deliberate and deeply genuine. “Siddhant Chaturvedi is my rarest find. I'll take his name because he has given a very important performances. We casted him in Inside Edge as the character of a Dalit bowler — and that choice is deliberate and important to highlight.” Abhishek said during the podcast. Banerjee’s voice laced out with admiration saying, “The first time I saw him, I knew there is something Remarkable about this man. Siddhant who is a HERO today, and imagined in all different stylish, glamorous roles — we had envisioned him as a lower caster sportsman, someone who was oppressed and bullied.”
Listeners were particularly taken by how emphatically Banerjee spoke of Chaturvedi’s commitment to craft. The actor, who has worked across genres and played some of the most memorable supporting characters in recent years, said Siddhant represents a new wave of Bollywood performers—those who bring both style and substance, and don’t shy away from taking creative risks saying, “He was selected for a Coca-Cola ad, then we cast him in Inside Edge, and from there, he went on to Gully Boy. I feel genuinely PROUD, because no matter what came after — I had seen the spark and Talent in him from the beginning. That’s rare. I really admire that about him.”
This open admiration especially one known for his discerning eye and grounded performances, has only added to the buzz around Siddhant Chaturvedi, whose upcoming projects are already highly anticipated. He will be seen in Dhadak 2 opposite Triptii Dimriand with Jaya Bachchan and Wamiqa Gabbi in the comedy film Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling.
