April 23 marks the 26th death anniversary of legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray.
Satyajit Ray belonged to a family of writers. In his early life, Ray was a huge fan of Oriental art.
Only after getting introduced to French director Jean Renoir did Ray get especially interested in filmmaking.
Satyajit Ray's first film Pather Panchali was shot for three years. He even struggled with the film's funding for a long time as he was determined on not changing any part of the story or perspective to the whims of a producer.
After the famous Apu Trilogy, Satyajit Ray experimented with genres. He went on to make films on the British Raj period, various documentaries including one on Rabindranath Tagore and even comedies like Mahapurush.
Satyajit Ray even delved into the genres of fantasy, science fiction, detective dramas and historical dramas in his later years.
