Abhishek Banerjee Reveals Training in Goju-Ryu Martial Arts

Actor Abhishek Banerjee, set to star in the action film Vedaa alongside John Abraham, Sharvari, and Tamannaah Bhatia, has revealed his background in martial arts. Banerjee is trained in Goju-Ryu, a Japanese martial art, and holds a brown belt.

Banerjee aimed for a black belt but couldn’t achieve it due to his father’s transferable job. He underwent four years of rigorous training at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu, where his father worked at the nuclear power plant. Despite not reaching the black belt level, Banerjee’s skills are evident in his action sequences in Vedaa.

John Abraham, known for his action roles, praised Banerjee’s expertise during the film’s trailer launch in Mumbai. Banerjee explained that for him, action is all about choreography and timing.

When discussing the differences between Hollywood and Hindi cinema action, actor Abhishek Banerjee said, “Copying Hollywood action often fails because we can’t match their budgets, design standards, or VFX. However, sticking to our roots gives us a unique edge.”

He emphasized that Vedaa features raw, root-based action. Banerjee noted that Kill, directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, also had impressive action. He pointed out that Indian action evolved with films like Shiva, starring Nagarjuna and directed by Ram Gopal Varma, which showcased intense and authentic Indian action.
