His acting is so powerful that everyone becomes his fan. Be it comedy or serious. Abhishek adapts himself well in every role. This is the reason why he has become the favorite actor of the makers in today’s time. Apart from being a great actor, Abhishek also runs a casting company. Due to which he is in the headlines these days. If reports are to be believed, Abhishek’s Dharma Productions had removed the actor from casting. Abhishek has broken his silence on this controversy.
Abhishek recently told Siddharth Kannan in an interview that he was asked to leave Karan Malhotra’s Agneepath because he was not impressed with his casting choices. Abhishek has now shared a statement saying that his statement has been taken in the wrong way. He did not mean to say this.
Abhishek shared the statement
Abhishek has shared a note on social media. In which he wrote- ‘This week I have faced the release of two films and a controversy. I have been reading and hearing a lot of reports about my company Casting Bay being fired during the casting process of Dharma Productions’ Agneepath (2012). Unfortunately, this situation has been completely misrepresented and we have been accused. In a podcast/interview, I had explained the reason for our dismissal, stating that we were not able to align with director Karan Malhotra’s vision for Agneepath. I also emphasized that at that time Anmol and I were very young, around 20 to 23 years old, and had little or no experience of casting for a big commercial film, due to which we probably misunderstood Karan’s needs for the project.’

Abhishek further wrote- ‘I have not alleged or suggested any wrongdoing on the part of Dharma Productions. In fact, I have great respect for Dharma Productions and Karan Johar. I never spoke to Karan Johar about our ouster, yet some reports have falsely claimed that he was the one who ousted us. The decision was actually taken by Karan’s team, and I accept my mistakes. I shared this story to encourage the youth that even if you fail or face an obstacle, you can always bounce back, as we did. We worked with Dharma on many projects, including OK Jaanu, Student of the Year 2, Kalank and the recently released Kill and Eleven Eleven. Additionally, Dharma cast me as an actor in Ajeeb Dastaan. Dharma has always been very good to me and my company Casting Bay. It is a relationship that we respect. PS: I am not posting this for any hamper. Abhishek Banerjee.’
