His Assamese film, Rainbow Fields, based on children growing up amidst violence, behind him, Victor Banerjee is gearing up for the release of his next, a teacher-student venture. Noted filmmaker Pavan Kaul's directorial is based on Indian yogi Paramahansa Yogananda's American disciple, James Donald Walters.

Banerjee slips into the role of Yogananda for the film. Shedding light on his preparation for The Answer, he tells mid-day that he read the book, Autobiography Of A Yogi, which was authored by Yogananda, and saw footage [featuring him], to study nuances like his body language, stance and movements.
