“Satyajit Ray was a trained graphic artist and he used to design his own title card for his film. I met him personally at his house and he called me into his room. Sir, it was an adbhut room in which posters, papers, and books were lying around here all across. You might wonder where have you arrived. But let me tell you if he had to find anything, he would do it immediately, as he knew exactly where everything was placed. In that room, he would also paint a lot of drawings and posters. Even if you see his films in frames then every frame is like a portrait,” he said in Hindi.
