After making her mark as an accomplished actress, Nandita Das wielded the megaphone to become an equally competent director. One of the few actors to have worked with legendary filmmakers, from Mrinal Sen, Shyam Benegal, Mani Ratnam and Adoor Gopalakrishnan and shared screen space with actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Soumitra Chatterjee, Mammootty, Sanjay Dutt and Aamir Khan, Nandita is known for her offbeat, meaningful films.
