Abhishek Banerjee has become the latest entrant to the cast of Section 84. The film, fronted by Amitabh Bachchan, also stars Diana Penty. It is directed by Ribhu Dasgupta of Te3n fame.
Expressing his excitement on joining the film and working with Mr Bachchan, Abhishek posted a note on Instagram which read: "Section 84 is my moment of Eklavya meeting Dronacharya. When I knew nothing about acting, I only knew one name, Amitabh Bachchan. From a boy who's hypnotised by him to actually getting the opportunity to stand alongside him in one frame, life has truly completed a circle for me."
Recently, the makers also announced Diana Penty in one of the key roles.
He added in the note: "This is what dreams are made of, as the Bachchan mania continues for me. This time I am a part of it. Thank you, thank you, Ribhu sir, you have no idea how my younger self is filled with joy to experience the mania with you. We've all been struck for years now!"
Abhishek is known for his roles in Mirzapur, Pataal Lok and Stree.
Section 84 is presented by Reliance Entertainment in association with Jio Studios and produced by Reliance Entertainment and Film Hangar.
