The maverick Indian who owned US strip club empire Chippendales
By Meryl SebastianMuscled men wearing bow-ties and G-strings to entertain women in smoky clubs is not a legacy one usually associates with an Indian-American immigrant.
In India, Banerjee - and his work - is hardly known. In the US, the Chippendales brand appears to have eclipsed the reputation of its controversial founder. That is now changing.Nearly three decades after his death, a podcast and a host of TV shows - including Hulu's latest drama series Welcome To Chippendales, starring Kumail Nanjiani - are revisiting Banerjee's story.
Banerjee, however, had bigger ambitions. "I want to be driving that car," he would say when people drove up to fill up their fancy vehicles, Petrzela says. For 1980s America "this was shocking", Petrzela says. But in the wake of the sexual revolution of the 1970s, Banerjee's Chippendales also came at a time when women's empowerment and sexual liberation could be commodified, the historian explains.
De Noia helped take Chippendales to New York City and expand the production across America through a successful tour.
