A Ray hero looks back
The HinduPublished : Jun 26, 2022 18:00 IST The “Ray Hero” can be perceived as one of the most exclusive clubs in the world of cinema and culture. Dub my voice himself.” Incidentally, Chanda was working in the creative department of Clarion Advertising, the same agency where Ray worked from 1943 to 1956, and while working on the script of Seemabaddha, Ray, who was “somewhat out of touch with the current advertising scene”, sought his young hero’s help in preparing the export ad for ceiling fans shown in the film. Chanda cites a conversation he had with Ray on this topic while filming: “‘Listen Barun,’ he told me, ‘If I ask you a question you would take a little time before answering, won’t you? Later, when Chanda had the “temerity” to ask Ray why he had not chastised the actress, Ray smiled and said, “Even if she didn’t admit it, inwardly she must have been feeling guilty. As Chanda writes, “… when I started accepting film offers again, I always had the respect of the younger generation of directors, the respect that a Ray hero keeps commanding in Bengal.”
