Mumbai, Jan 29 (NationPress) Actor Abhishek Banerjee has recently addressed a case of confusion regarding his credit as the writer of “Paatal Lok 2.”

A source disclosed that Banerjee, well-known for his powerful performances in films and series, is currently facing an unusual incident of mistaken identity. He shares his name with his good friend and talented writer, Abhishek Banerjee. Consequently, the actor has been inaccurately credited for writing several notable episodes of “Paatal Lok Season 2”—a project he was not involved in.

Abhishek reacted to the misunderstanding with a mix of humor and frustration. Reflecting on a past conversation during their early careers, he jokingly advised his friend, “You should really think about changing your name. The day I become famous, people will think I’ve written all your stuff.” Little did he realize, this statement would eventually come to fruition.

“If I ever wrote something, it’d probably get rejected faster than my first audition,” he remarked.

In contrast, writer Abhishek Banerjee is a creative mastermind, diligently producing stories that resonate with viewers. The actor emphasizes that his friend deserves full recognition for his achievements, and not merely due to their shared name. “Trust me, if something’s well-written, it’s definitely him,” he chuckled.

Actor Abhishek further clarified, stating, “There are two Abhishek Banerjees in Bollywood—one writes, the other acts. Let’s not confuse the two. And please, give the writer Abhishek his due credit. He’s earned it!”

On a related note, season 2 of “Paatal Lok” presents a gripping and intense crime thriller, set in the backdrop of Nagaland. The season follows the determined Hathi Ram Chaudhary (Jaideep Ahlawat), who, alongside his partner Imran Ansari (Ishwak Singh), delves into the mysterious disappearance of a migrant worker linked to a perilous drug syndicate. As the investigation progresses, Hathi Ram unravels a complicated web of secrets while confronting systemic corruption, formidable adversaries, and his own internal struggles.

Also featuring Gul Panag, Tillotama Shome, and Nagesh Kukunoor, the second season of the series was released on Prime Video on January 17.
