+'''Krishnakant (b. 1922)'''
+
+Gujarati and Hindi actor and director born in
+Howrah, Bengal, as Krishnakant Maganlal
+Bukhanwala. Son of a textile engineer;
+educated in Surat and in Bombay. Obtained a
+diploma in radio and electrical engineering
+(1940); then joined the Rooptara Studio in
+Bombay, working in the sound department.
+Assisted Nitin Bose for five years, then worked
+with Aravind Sen on Muqaddar (also acting in
+it) and with Subodh Mukherjee (Paying
+Guest, 1957). First major acting role in Phani
+Majumdar’s Andolan; other notable roles are
+a paralytic in Amiya Chakravarty’s Patita and
+the villain in Shakti Samanta’s Detective. Left
+films in the late 50s to concentrate on Gujarati
+theatre work (e.g. Pravin Joshi’s Manas Name
+Karigar) mainly with Harkrishen Mehta’s
+group. Returned to cinema in the early 70s;
+turned to direction with Dakurani Ganga,
+adapting Mehta’s novel Pravaha Paltavyo.
+Directed a series of Gujarati films based on
+plays or films from other languages: e.g.
+Visamo based on Harkrishen Mehta’s play, in
+which he acted the role of an old teacher,
+recalling Paranjpe’s Oon Paoos (1954) and
+Panthulu’s School Master (1958). Also
+adapted Anant Mane’s Manini (1961) as Maa
+Dikri. With these films he introduced a novel
+style of urban entertainment to Gujarati
+cinema, although relying on conventional
+reformist melodrama plots about the joint
+family, the generation gap and the exploitation
+of women. Also noted actor on Hindi and
+Gujarati television.
