As “Welcome to Chippendales” proceeds, Steve Banerjee is pushed to lengths that, to speak plainly but without direct spoilers, prove truly dangerous to major players in the Chippendales organization. In the interview, Nanjiani is asked to explain what is it about Nick that gets so far under Banerjee’s skin that he’d undertake such drastic measures. In short, “Nick is everything he knows he can never be,” Nanjiani said. Â
It isn’t merely one simple aspect or trait, but rather De Noia exemplifies a number of traits that Banerjee wishes he had. “Nick is very creative; Steve is not,” Nanjiani explains. “Nick is very good with people; Steve is not. Nick is very charismatic. He owns a room. Steve cannot do that.” Steve Banerjee can’t match De Noia in any aspect of the attributes that evolve the show or bring in new business opportunities.Â

What’s worse for Steve, Nanjiani explains further, is that Banerjee isn’t comfortable with his own libidinous self, an ironic limitation for the founder of a world-famous male revue. “Nick loves himself; Steve hates himself,” Nanjiani clarifies. “Nick is very in touch with his body and his sexuality, and Steve is very cut off from everything under his neck.” While Banerjee wants the company to succeed because, frankly, there’s a lot of money to be had, he doesn’t have the capacities needed to make it work on his own … capacities that De Noia has in spades.
