Under the Blue Sky).[2] He had worked with directors like Satyajit Ray[3][4] and Ronand Joffy. He is remembered for his portrayal of Machhli Baba in 1979 film Joi Baba Felunath.[5]
Manu Mukherjee was born on March 1, 1930. He was the son of Amarendranath Mukherjee, who was also involved with acting at the Calcutta Theatre. Manu Mukherjee was one of the oldest actors in the world, still actively playing major and minor roles in Bengali television's soaps and operas.
Manu started acting at an young age, and with his first character he portrayed the role of a wife at a neighborhood club play which fueled his fascination towards acting. He joined the Srirangam Theatre (known as Bishwarupa Movie Theater since 2001) as a prompter in the year 1957. He also worked in other famous theatres from the late sixties onward such as Sarkarina, Sujata Sadan, Minerva, Bishwanath Mancha, Rangmahal, and Star theatre. His first notable part was when he had to act as an artist instead of Kali Banerjee in the play Khudha. He was also trained as a Tabla player by the famous Tabla player Krishnakumar Ganguly also known as Natubabu.[6]
Mukherjee died on 6 December 2020 around 9:35 A.M in Kolkata. He was 90 years old. He had been suffering from chronic heart problems.[9]
