14 Rare Pictures Of Satyajit Ray That Prove He Himself Could’ve Played Hero In All His Films
BUY-SELL | HELP WANTED | MATRIMONIAL
If you’re familiar with the legacy of the genius that Mr Satyajit Ray was, you’d agree that no introduction would do justice to the sheer talent that he embodied. Right from being one of the greatest film directors of all time, to being one of the most underrated writers ever, to being a supremely talented painter, there is nothing creative or artistic that this man was incapable of doing.
However, because of his indisputable greatness, no one perhaps thought of looking at the superficial, which honestly is noteworthy. Mr Ray, without a shred of doubt, was a bona fide style God who was handsome enough to play the ‘hero’ in all his films. As if his presence itself wasn’t charismatic and magnetic enough, he stood tall at a height of more than 6 feet 3 inches, dwarfing everyone else around in the set. Here are 10 rare pictures that prove the same.
Let us start with a rare picture of his youth. This originally was a black and white picture that has been colorized.
This picture is from 1992, the same year he received the Academy Honorary Award. This was his last DD interview, with Sharmila Tagore.
That gaze and that grace! Just leaving this here.
Here is another picture from when he was young, from 1935 to be precise. Like they say, some people are just born with it.
No one knew or used words such as ‘swag’ back then, but look!
Another one. No one really knew what ‘being cool’ meant back in the day, but he embodied it, and how!
Which director dresses like this anymore during shoot? It takes real class, something that unfortunately seems to be a thing of the bygone era now.
Hear us out, could he really not have played James Bond or Sherlock Holmes? Fun Fact: The famous ‘Feluda’ is based on Sherlock Holmes, and for anyone who has read the original books and seen his artwork, it will be evident that he perhaps had used himself as an inspiration for how the character should look like, and for good reason.
Who else could pull off a suit like that? He wasn’t even on a ramp but might as well have been.
If something like this came out today, Coke would’ve legit used this very image as a viral ad.
A couple of more images, just to cement our claim.

And a final one, with the ‘Mahanayak’ of Bengali cinema, Uttam Kumar. For someone who’s not familiar with the legends, it would be a task guessing who’s the director and who’s the actor.
We continue being in awe of everything that this man was about, and it’s safe to say that will never change.
