Film-maker Sandip Ray, along with Kalyani University vice-chancellor Manas Kumar Sanyal, launches a book — Aparajito Satyajit — to mark the birth centenary of his father Satyajit Ray in Calcutta on Wednesday.

The book is a collection of memories and articles on the legendary film maestro penned by eminent names, including actress Sharmila Tagore, who has acted in many Ray films. It has been published by Kalyani University.

Ray, born on May 2, 1921, in Calcutta, made his directorial debut in 1955 with Pather Panchali, an adaptation of Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay’s novel of the same name.

Ray was also an accomplished writer, illustrator, graphic designer and music composer.
