There are some actors in the world of Bengali cinema whose careers are marked by ups and downs. Jisshu Sengupta is one of them. Once he was Autochoice, a side character in the movie. It was Rituparno Ghosh who first saw the spark of talent in him, giving Jisshu Sengupta time and again. He was doing good work, but luck was not on his side, the name “Unlucky Actor” has been adapted to him. Many wrote the epitaph of the career; It was said that Jesus would spend his life presenting reality shows and award nights.
But his story did not stop there.
The beginning walk
Jisshu Sengupta was born on 15 March 1977 in Kolkata, India. His father was the famous actor Ujjwal Sengupta, so he grew up in an acting environment from childhood. Studied at Heritage Institute of Technology.
His first introduction to the world of acting came through television. He came to the attention of the audience by playing the role of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the popular serial “Mahaprabhu”. Then, I gradually started working on the big screen. Priyojon released in 1999 was one of his early notable films.
At the beginning of his career, he acted in a few films as a hero, but they did not get much success. As a result, he gradually turned to acting in supporting roles. Many directors avoided him as “Unlucky”. He has even been left out of important roles at times—such stories are heard in Tollywood.
During this time he presented various reality shows and programs on television. Many thought that his film career might end here.
Then came Jaatishwar (2014) directed by Srijit Mukherji. Jisshu Sengupta gave a great performance. He received wide acclaim for his portrayal of the historical character Michael Madhusudan Dutt. This movie basically became the big turning point of his career.
After that, he continued to prove his acting skills in one movie after another. He gradually became one of the busiest and most reliable actors in Tollywood.
Not only in Bengali movies, but Jisshu Sengupta has also made his place in the other Indian film industry as well. In Bollywood, she worked in movies like Barfi!, Mardaani 2, and Shakuntala Devi. Simultaneously shared the screen with stars like Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.
He also played important roles in South Indian cinema. Especially his presence in villain or strong supporting roles catches the attention of the audience.
With the slander of ‘Anlaki’, the director did not want to do a supporting role with him, he is now the busiest actor. This change does not happen just like that. If not, flying like a phoenix from the ruins!
Today Jisshu Sengupta is not only a successful actor but also a symbol of struggle, patience, and self-confidence. His story proves that careers may have bad times, but with talent and hard work, there is always a way back.
