![]() The film premiered at the Vancouver International Film Festival and laid prospects for the notable actor to be honoured with Padma Shri which he consistently turned down. Suman Ghosh’s Podokkhep (‘Footstep’)Ĭhatterjee grabbed his first National Award for Best Actor in 2006 for his mind-blowing role in the movie and was also honoured with few Special Jury Awards. The movie earned him a distinction of a ‘good actor’ as the late artist went on to become a cultural icon and a national treasure. In his 1993 memoir Manikdar Sange (‘Manik Da and I’), the legendary actor recalled that despite struck with exhaustion and fatigue and nearly fainting due to poor health, he still managed to continue shooting. The actor was cast as the lead character Narsingh with production manager Anil Chowdhury. Amit Shah NovemSatyajit Ray’s Abhijan (‘The Expedition’)Ĭhatterjee shot for this movie in the summer of 1962 in the scorching heat of 45-degree-celsius in Birbhum, West Bengal. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and countless followers. In Soumitra Da, Indian silver screen has lost a gem. An iconic actor, who took Bengali cinema to new heights. Deeply pained to learn about the demise of legendary Soumitra Chatterjee ji.
