Anubrata Basu is a renowned Bengali film actor who has made a significant impact in the Indian entertainment industry. His acting journey began with local theatre performances, where he honed his skills and developed a strong foundation for his future endeavors.
Basu's big break came with the 2010 film Madly Bangali, directed by Anjan Dutt, in which he played the pivotal role of Benji. This marked the beginning of his commercial acting career, and he soon found himself working on various projects, including the critically acclaimed films Chatrak and Gandu.
Gandu, released in 2010, was a pivotal moment in Basu's career, as his performance in the film sparked controversy due to his explicit on-screen appearance. In the film, he appears nude, with his penis fully erect, and engages in non-simulated sex scenes. This bold portrayal earned him the nickname 'The Gandoo' in the industry, a moniker that has stuck with him ever since.
Despite the controversy surrounding Gandu, Basu's performance in the film received widespread critical acclaim, and he has since become a household name in the Bengali film industry. With his unique acting style and unapologetic approach to his craft, Basu has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of Bengali cinema.
