'''Uttam Kumar''' (born '''Arun Kumar Chatterjee'''; 3 September 1926 – 24 July 1980), popularly known as the '''Mahanayak''',<ref>{{cite news |last1=Pothukuchi |first1=Madhavi |title=Uttam Kumar — the 'mahanayak' who defined Bengali cinema for three decades |url=https://theprint.in/theprint-profile/uttam-kumar-the-mahanayak-who-defined-bengali-cinema-for-three-decades/266891/ |access-date=26 January 2021 |work=ThePrint |date=24 July 2019}}</ref> was an Indian film actor, director, producer, singer, composer and playback singer who predominantly worked in Indian Cinema. Through his career, he earned commercial as well as critical success, and he remains as an Indian cultural icon.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Bollywoodirect|date=2018-09-03|title=Remembering Uttam Kumar, the uncrowned king of Bengali cinema and one of India’s most versatile…|url=https://bollywoodirect.medium.com/remembering-uttam-kumar-the-uncrowned-king-of-bengali-cinema-and-one-of-indias-most-versatile-14cbd1cef370|access-date=2021-07-13|website=Medium|language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
Kumar's career started with the 1948 film ''[[Drishtidan]]''. He appeared in over 200 films in his career. One of his lauded appearance was in [[Satyajit Ray]]'s ''[[Nayak (1966 film)|Nayak]]'' (1966). It was widely accepted that Satyajit Ray wrote the script with Uttam in mind. Many people feel the film bears resemblance to Uttam Kumar's own life – the sense of anxiety and restlessness mirrored Uttam's insecurities about his phenomenal success and abiding fear that his superstardom might not last. Uttam made the role of Arindam (Mukherjee) his own and Ray later confessed that if Uttam had refused the film, he would have abandoned it. He worked with Ray the following year in ''[[Chiriyakhana]]'' (1967).<ref name=telegraph5>{{Cite news| title = Byomkesh Bakshi| newspaper = The Telegraph| date = 7 August 2010| url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100807/jsp/entertainment/story_12780913.jsp| access-date = 15 August 2010| archive-date = 23 August 2010| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100823061134/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100807/jsp/entertainment/story_12780913.jsp| url-status = live }}</ref><br />
[[File:Mahanayak Uttam-kumar.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Uttam Kumar was the first-ever recipient of the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performances in [[Antony Firingee]] and [[Chiriyakhana]] in 1967.]]<br />
<br />
He explored new avenues of film-making by trying his hand at production, singing, composing music, screenplay writing and directing. The success of his Indian films as producer — ''[[Harano Sur]]'', ''[[Saptapadi (1961 film)|Saptapadi]]'', ''Bhrantibilash'', ''Jotugriha'' (1964), ''Grihadah'' — won greatest acclaim. On producing ''[[Chhoti Si Mulaqat]]'' in 1967, which was a Hindi film starring Uttam and [[Vyjayanthimala]], Uttam almost used up all his savings, since the film had to be shot in colour and was shot in extravagant locations. Both Uttam and Vyjayanthimala had huge hopes associated with the film, but the film was a flop leading to great disappointment for Uttam Kumar. It was later said that this flop was one of the main reasons for triggering the heart attack, which ultimately led to his death.<ref name=gomolo1>{{Cite web|title = Uttam Kumar: As a Producer|work = gomolo|date = 13 June 2008| url = http://www.gomolo.in/features/article.aspx?ArticleID=22| access-date = 4 September 2011| archive-date = 23 September 2011| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110923105319/http://www.gomolo.in/features/Article.aspx?ArticleID=22| url-status = live}}</ref> Later, Uttam directed much-lauded films such as ''Sudhu Ekti Bochhor'' and ''Bon Palashir Padaboli''. He composed music for the film ''Kaal Tumi Aleya'' in which Hemanta Mukherjee and Asha Bhosle sang to his tune.<br />
<br />
He came out with an authorised biography ''Aamar Ami'' in 1979–80. He had a phenomenal fan base which continues even to this day. In 1960, he started writing an autobiography named ''Harano Dinguli Mor'' (My Bygone Days), but could not complete it. Parts of that book were published by the magazine ''Nabokallol''. On the day Uttam died, the original manuscript was stolen. Later, a member from ''Times of India'' had found the manuscript and the national library helped to find old editions of ''Nabakallol'' and then the incomplete book was finally published in the 37th Calcutta Book Fair. As a singer, he recorded songs for the AIR – All India Radio – and very recently, an album of Tagore songs (Rabindrasangeet) sung by him, has been brought out.<ref>{{Cite news|title = Living with Uttam Kumar| date = 20 July 2008| url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080720/jsp/calcutta/story_9567833.jsp| access-date = 15 August 2010|work = The Telegraph| first = Kushali|last = Nag| archive-date = 1 August 2008| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080801183522/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080720/jsp/calcutta/story_9567833.jsp| url-status = live}}</ref><br />
<br />
There was a time, when at the heights of his popularity Uttam Kumar was approached to recite the Chandi Path in the [[All India Radio]] (AIR) studios. Traditionally this had always been done by [[Birendra Krishna Bhadra]]. But there was a huge uproar amongst the audience as to why Uttam Kumar had been chosen instead of Birendra Krishna. Uttam personally met Mr. Bhadra and apologised and from the next year Mahalaya on AIR was again done by Bhadra.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.learningandcreativity.com/uttam-kumar-suchitra-sen-bengali-cinemas-first-couple/|title=Reference: Two Legends and Their Lives: Uttam Kumar Suchitra Sen|publisher=Learning and Creativity|date=13 September 2012|access-date=27 January 2014|archive-date=27 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140127200924/http://www.learningandcreativity.com/uttam-kumar-suchitra-sen-bengali-cinemas-first-couple/|url-status=live}}</ref><br />

Reruns of his films on television decades after his death are still eagerly watched. Uttam Kumar's time is considered by most as the '''Golden Era of''' [[Cinema of West Bengal|Bengali cinema]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Beyond the Enigma: Uttam Kumar, the Man and the Mahanayak|url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/celebrities/beyond-the-enigma-uttam-kumar-the-man-and-the-mahanayak|work=The Quint|date=3 September 2017|access-date=29 March 2018|archive-date=30 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180330012531/https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/celebrities/beyond-the-enigma-uttam-kumar-the-man-and-the-mahanayak|url-status=live}}</ref><br />

''[[Sonar Harin]]'' saw [[Supriya Devi]] (who would win great accolades for her performance in [[Ritwik Ghatak]]'s ''[[Meghe Dhaka Tara]]'' the following year) play the lead opposite Uttam Kumar. As they began to act in more films together, the two got involved off-screen as well. In 1963, Uttam left his family home at Girish Mukherjee Road, Bhowanipur and stayed with Supriya for the next 17 years till his death. They starred together in several other films like ''Uttarayan'', ''Chiradiner'', ''Agni Sanskar'', ''Suno Baranari'', ''Kal Tumi Aleya'', ''Lal Pathor'', ''[[Andha Atit]]'', ''Sudhu Ekti Bochhor'', ''Mon Niye'', ''Bilambita Loy'', ''Bhola Maira'', ''Sanyasi Raja'', ''[[Bon Palashir Padabali]]'', ''Sister, ''Jibon Mrityue'', ''Bagh Bandir Khela''.<ref name=telegraph12>{{Citation | title = Live-in genes | newspaper = The Telegraph | date = 10 January 2008 | url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080110/jsp/entertainment/story_8762188.jsp | access-date = 15 August 2010 | first1 = India | last1 = Is | archive-date = 25 October 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121025132446/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080110/jsp/entertainment/story_8762188.jsp | url-status = live }}</ref><br />
