ABOUT Jisshu Sengupta
Jisshu Sengupta: A Versatile Presence in Indian Cinema Jisshu Sengupta, born Biswaroop Sengupta on March 15, 1977, is a prominent figure in Indian cinema, working across Bengali, Hindi, and Telugu films, with some Kannada ventures. His career, spanning over two decades, showcases versatility and a consistent dedication to his craft. Sengupta's acting journey began with the Bengali television series Mahaprabhu (1998), portraying Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, a role that brought him initial recognition. While his film debut, Priyojon (1999), was commercially unsuccessful, he later gained critical acclaim for his portrayal of Rabindranath Tagore in Chelebela (2002). His Bollywood debut in Shyam Benegal's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero (2004) further broadened his horizons. A pivotal moment arrived with his collaboration with Rituparno Ghosh in Abohomaan, marking a turning point in his career. Subsequent collaborations, including Shob Charitro Kalponik and Noukadubi, solidified his position. He further cemented his standing through roles in critically acclaimed and commercially successful films such as Jaatishwar, Rajkahini (as a contract killer), and Byomkesh O Chiriyakhana. His performance in the action drama Zulfiqar (2016) stands as one of his biggest commercial successes. Other notable films include Sesh Bole Kichu Nei, Kelor Kirti, Posto, Ek Je Chhilo Raja, and Mahalaya. Beyond acting, Sengupta has actively anchored reality and award shows, including the Filmfare Awards East (2017), and even ventured into television production with Aparajito (2011) for Star Jalsha. His consistent performances and diverse roles demonstrate Sengupta's dedication to the craft and his significant contribution to Indian cinema.
