Actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya has been a part of the film industry for over two decades now. The actor who is popularly known for essaying negative characters of Yeda Yakub in `Black Friday` and Chunnilal in Dev D, fails to understand why he is known for his negative characters. Bhattacharya says he has done more positive characters than negative. “My character in `Undekhi` is the most positive character. Even in `Jamtara`, my character may seem negative in the start but becomes positive towards the end. Even in `Rocket Boyz`, he is a positive character who is being framed. In Ghuspaith also, he is just a positive character,” says Bhattacharya in conversation with mid-day.com.
Among Dibyendu’s well known characters are Chunnilal from `Dev D` and Yeda Yakub from `Black Friday`. While both characters are known to come in the negative realm, the actor says, “Chunnilal was not a negative character, he was just a character. He is into the business so he does what is required of his job. But my character Yeda Yakub from Black Friday was completely negative. I played a negative character in ‘Criminal Justice’, ‘Mission Raniganj’ and in `BA Pass`. I always joke that if a man is dark and he does a negative character it becomes popular.” In the recently released film `Mission Raniganj`, Bhattacharya plays Sen, who is out to sabotage the mission in order to get back at another officer. Describing the film as nationalist, heroic, and mainstream,` Bhattacharya says that the constant sabotage by his character makes the act of the hero more heroic.
