Oddly, nothing in the form of a biography has been written before about Bengals most memorable actor, Uttam Kumar, in English.
Veteran film critic Swapan Mullicks Mahanayak Revisited goes behind the professional life and public face of Bengals most idolised actor to reveal little-known details of the stars unconscious power in the film industry for more than thirty years, the dazzling achievements dampened by dud disappointments, the aberrations attendant on a life constantly in the floodlights as well as the human face that was masked by his towering image in front of the camera all of which have resulted in, for cine- lovers, an attachment that survives more than thirty years after his death.
Mullick researches the reason for our undying worship of, and emotional links with, Bengals most enduring screen hero, emerging with a gripping portrait of a true master of his art. ISBN - 9789382618331
