Early life

Pratik was born in Kolkata, India to Anuradha Sen. He grew up in Deoghar, Jharkhand. His family has a history of association with the film industry. He is the grandson of Bijalibaran Sen (Director of the 1961 Bengali Film "Manik") and Amar Dutta (lead actor of Bengali film "Subhash Chandra") and great-grandson of Debaki Kumar Bose (Director of the Bengali Film "Seeta"). [1]

Careers

Pratik started his career with the South Eastern Railways in India. He was three times state-level boxing champion in heavy-weight category between 2002 and 2004. He quit boxing to pursue a career as an actor. [1] Pratik is well regarded for his versatile acting performances in both, television and films.

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]

He then appeared in Clapstick [10] and Chol Kuntal [11] in lead roles, where he shared screen space with two thespians, Soumitra Chatterjee and Deepankar De. [12] [13] [14]

In 2018, Pratik starred alongside Rituparna Sengupta in Tarun Majumdar's Bhalobasar Bari [15] [16] where he played the lead. The film went onto complete 50 days at the box office. [17] He worked once again with Rituparna in the 2019 Sujit Paul film, Atithi. [18] [19] [20]

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 an eight-month hiatus, Pratik returned to the small screen in May 2024 as the lead in Surinder Films’ serial "Uraan", [27] alongside debutante Ratnapriya Das. Their on-screen pairing was appreciated by audiences. Uraan completed its journey in early March 2025.

In July 2025, Pratik returned to television with the serial "Amader Dadamoni"[ citation needed ] [28] on Zee Bangla, produced by Nilanjana Sengupta's 'Nini Chini's Mamma's Production House'.
