Satyajit Ray’s Jana Aranya actor Pradip Mukherjee passes away at age 76

Veteran Bengali actor Pradip Mukherjee passed away on Monday at 8:15 a.m. in a hospital in Kolkata. He was 76. He was transferred to a state-run hospital after his condition worsened three days ago after being taken to a private hospital for a lung infection.

In addition to his wife, Pradip Mukherjee leaves behind a son and a daughter. He had nearly 40 film appearances, including his breakout performance in Satyajit Ray’s Jana Aranya. He played Somnath, the main character, in the movie. His other publications include Mondo Meyer Upakshan (2002) by Buddhadeb Dasgupta and Rituparno Ghosh’s Hirer Angti (1992), among others. Torulatar Bhoot, his most recent release, came in 2021.

Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, expressed her sadness over Pradip Mukherjee’s passing in a statement on the news of his passing. He had contributed to the films Jana Aranya by Satyajit Ray, Utsav by Rituparno Ghosh, and Dooratwa by Buddhadeb Dasgupta. His passing left a large vacuum.

“Pradip Mukherjee had been discovered by my father in a Bengali stage production and he decided to cast him in Jana Aranya,” filmmaker Sandip Rau, Satyajit Ray’s son, told PTI. He gave a great performance. He truly wished the Ray family well. We suffered a family loss.

He appeared in Kahaani 2 (2016) by filmmaker Sunjoy Ghosh in addition to Bengali movies, playing the part of doctor Maity.

Jennifer Lopez ‘let go of her’ high-heeled ego while working with Ben Affleck

As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.

Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.

The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.

“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”

“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”

After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.

“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”

Jennifer told Interview Magazine, “I was thinking about this time in my life, and I’m like, ‘That’s not what I thought it was going to turn out like.’ And then I thought, ‘No, this is exactly where I needed to be.’”
