Bengali screen legend Soumitra Chatterjee joined Satyajit Ray’s league, as exactly 30 years after Satyajit Ray was honored with France’s Legion d’Honneur; Soumitra Chatterjee, arguably, the most prominent face of Ray’s films, is set to receive the prestigious award.
“I believe I am probably the first Indian actor to be honoured with the award. To be honoured in the same league as my mentor (Ray) is unbelievable because one does not work keeping awards and prizes in mind. One works for the love of the job,” said Soumitra Chatterjee after receiving the news.
On this occasion, Hon’ble Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee addressed him as “hallmark of Indian and Bengali cinema”.
