At the age of four-and-a-half he started acting in a film called Maryada, starring Uttam Kumar.

After he grew up and became a teenager, he could no longer be a child actor and offers began to dry up.

He was legendary in his performance and managed to capture in essence the spirit of the character so well that even Sandip Ray, the director, found him perfect as a replacement.

He had completed dubbing for the Feluda film Royal Bengal Rahasya the day before he died.

Initially, it was difficult to replace the legendary actor, Santosh Dutta as Jatayu, but he became popular with time.
