Bengali actor Jisshu Sengupta disclosed that his family’s theatre background did not influence his interest in Hindi or Bengali cinema while growing up. Contrary to his acting lineage, he was more focused on sports and music during his childhood. Sengupta, who initially pursued cricket and music, eventually found himself in the entertainment industry, marking almost three decades in the field next year.
Starting his career in television and later transitioning to films, Jisshu Sengupta has become a prominent figure in Bengali cinema and has also made a notable impact in Hindi films. His repertoire includes acclaimed Bengali projects like “Autograph”, “Chotushkone”, and “Jaatishwar”, as well as memorable roles in Hindi movies such as “Barfi!”, “Piku”, and “Shakuntala Devi”. Currently, he is preparing for the release of his upcoming film “Bhoot Bangla”, featuring a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar, Rajpal Yadav, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, and the late veteran actor Asrani. The movie, initially set for a March 10 release, is now rescheduled to hit theaters on April 17.
