Debshankar has worked in a few films too.[1][2]
Early life [edit]
Debshankar was born on 8 January 1965. His father Abhay Haldar was a famous actor of Bengali Jatra and his brother Amiya Haldar is an actor of Bengali theatre group Bohurupee. Debshankar believes, he was acquainted with this world of acting, because of his father. In 1986 Haldar joined a workshop organized by Nandikar with the intention of learning acting.The workshop was so engrossing that he decided not to look beyond theatre.Over the years he has been keenly involved with every aspect of theatre. One of the leading trainers of the group and closely associated with Nandikar's Children's Ensemble he has written and directed over 40 children's plays including the much acclaimed "Bhalo Manush Noigo Mora'. His first directorial venture outside Nandikar is Story Teller's Topi.[3]
In April 2010 Rangapat held a theatre festival to showcase the works of actor Debshankar Haldar.[1] a feat which no other stage actor from Bengal has achieved,not even the greats like Sisir Bhaduri, Sombhu Mitra or Utpal Dutta.
