Arun Mukherjee
Arun Mukherjee or Arun Mukhopadhyay is a noted Bengali playwright and thespian. He is associated with the theater group Chetana both as actor-director and playwright. He is the author of many plays including the classic Mārīch Sangbād, which has been translated into English (Mareech, The Legend), by Utkal Mohanty.[1] Through an arresting character analysis of the Ramayana illusion-expert Mareech, this story spotlights the contemporary social woes of the oppressed Indian peasantry.[2] Other well-known plays include Jagannāth and Ramjātra.
He won the National Film Award for Best Actor, 1979, for his role in the film Parashuram.
