About Prosenjit Chatterjee
One of the biggest stars of Bengali cinema, Prosenjit Chatterjee’s career spans over four decades. The actor is the son of veteran actor Biswajit Chatterjee. Prosenjit Chatterjee began his career as a child artist in a film called Chotto Jigyasa in 1968 and later made his debut as a leading actor in Duti Pata in 1983.
However, his breakthrough came with Amar Sangi in 1987. He went on to become a household name with a string of romantic and family entertainers.
While Chatterjee ruled the Bengali box office in the 1980s, his career saw a slump in the 1990s. He reinvented his career in the early 2000s and, since then, has been part of some of the most iconic films in the Bengali film industry, including Autograph, Jalsaghar, Chokher Bali, Mishawr Rawhoshyo and Shankhachil, among others.
He has also made his mark in Hindi cinema and on OTT platforms with projects such as Shanghai and Jubilee.
He was most recently seen in the Bengali film Vijaynagar’er Hirey, based on Sunil Gangopadhyay’s novel of the same name. Directed by Chandrashish Ray, the film is produced by Shrikant Mohta and Mahendra Soni and also stars Chiranjeet Chakraborty, Aryann Bhowmik and Pushan Dasgupta in key roles.
