Surprisingly, he came in very late for the publicity of the above mentioned films. “Believe it or not, I was afraid of fame.

Barring his debut directorial "Khosla Ka Ghosla", Banerjee's sense of cinematic humour has never been mainstream. With Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor toplining the cast of his latest, Banerjee has not surprisingly tried...
