How did the idea to work on this ambitious project come about?
Actually, the idea was with me for the past 14-15 years. In 1995, we were curating the first-ever exhibition on Satyajit Ray’s graphic design in Kolkata. In the process, I was able to scan through his archive. Later on, several people insisted that I work on this grand project. Roli Books approached me in 2006 and that’s how it was realised into a book.u00a0As a filmmaker, I had learned the craft from Ray himself, as part of his film unit. Going back to the starting point of this project, various colleagues Amal Ghosh and Sandipda (Sandip Ray, Satyajit Ray’s son) had indulged me into working on this. Both introduced me to plenty of archival material and it triggered off my pursuit.
