Film career

Pratik made his acting debut in 2009 with the film Amar Bodyguard directed by Haranath Chakraborty. The release of Amar Bodyguard was delayed, hence, Prem Bandhan became his first release in a lead role in 2009. [2] His next Bengali films were Om Shanti, [3] Passport [4] and Dekha Hulo Dujonay. [5]

In 2015, he worked with late Bappaditya Bandyopadhyay [6] in Sohra Bridge [7] [8] which was an official selection in the Indian Panorama section at the 46th International Film Festival of India. [9]

Television career

Pratik made his television debut on Star Jalsha in the 2016 comedy-drama Khokababu [21] by Blues Productions where he portrayed the titular character. He was paired opposite Trina Saha, who also made her debut with the serial. His portrayal of 'Khoka', an innocent wrestler with strong family ties won him his first Government of West Bengal Tele Academy Award for Best Actor.

After Khokababu, he took a break from television.

In 2019, he returned to television with Magic Moments Motion Pictures family drama Mohor [22] as the male protagonist. His portrayal of the emotionally complex character, 'Shankhodip Ray Chowdhury (Shankho)' won him his second Government of West Bengal Tele Academy Award for Best Actor. [23]

His next show was Acropoliis Entertainment's Shaheber Chithi where he was the lead. [24] [25] [26] In February 2023, he joined the cast of Magic Moments Motion Pictures serial Ekka Dokka in a cameo role but went onto play a parallel lead role as the story progressed.

After a 8-month hiatus, Pratik returned to the small screen in May 2024 with Surinder Films serial "Uraan" [27] as the lead with debutante, Ratnapriya Das. The teaser promo was released by Star Jalsha on 23 April 2024.
