Bengali actor Soumitra Chatterjee on his challenging role in 'Shakha Proshakha'

Soumitra Chatterjee says "No. it wasn't. What happened was that when he decided to make this film he told me that look I am going to make a film of that script which I wrote for your magazine 25-years-ago. So, I am going to update it and then I am going to make a film out of it. There is this role of three brothers which has very few spoken words maybe 20 or 25 lines. But I want someone very dependable so I want you to play it." An icon of Bengali cinema and one of the most venerated actors in the country, Soumitra Chatterjee has immortalised a plethora of characters over the course of a career spanning around six decades. A recipient of the Dadasaheb Phalke Award and French government`s Ordre des Arts et des Lettres honour, the National Film Award-winning actor is perhaps best known for his association with legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray, with whom he worked in as many as 14 films.
