Also a poet and initiator of one of Bengal’s best- known literary journals, Ekshan, which he co- edited with Nirmalya Acharya. With [[Uttam Kumar]] the major 60s and 70s star of Bengali film. Début with Ray’s [[Apur Sansar]]; has thereafter remained associated with Ray, and was described by Pauline Kael as his ‘one-man stock company’. [[Chidananda Das Gupta]] (Talking About Films, 1981) suggested Ray cast him so often because of a distinct physical resemblance to the young [[Tagore]]. Repeated aspects of his most famous Ray role in [[Charulata]] as a leitmotiv in [[Kapurush]] and [[Aranyer Din Ratri]], of the brash but insecure hero. Also played the detective Felu in children’s films ([[Sonar Kella]], [[Joi Baba Felunath]]) and several ‘character’ roles, including the rough taxi driver in [[Abhijaan]] and the famine-stricken Brahmin in [[Ashani Sanket]]. The hit Jhinder Bandi featured a rare joint appearance with Uttam Kumar (they also did Stree together). Other major roles in [[Tapan Sinha]]’s [[Kshudista Pashan]], [[Mrinal Sen]]’s [[Akash Kusum]], several [[Ajoy Kar]] films ([[Saat Pake Bandha]], Kanch Kata Hirey) and [[Majumdar]]’s [[Sansar Simantey]] and [[Ganadevata]]. Since [[Ghare Baire]] spent more time on the stage and doing poetry readings. Published Swagato, an antholology of essays on cinema, theatre and acting (1996).
