While directing Uttam Kumar, I noticed in him a rare spontaneity mingled with dignity and emotional depth. I found out early on that he belonged to the breed of instinctive actors. I have worked with the other kind too, the cerebral one, the one that likes to take a part to pieces and probe into background, motivations etc in order to get beneath the skin of the character. But the fact is, there is no guarantee that a cerebral actor will make a more substantial contribution than an instinctive one. I admit there are flaws in my direction ( Nayak ) , but none in Uttam Kumars performance. He is the most professional and equipped actor I worked with, after Chabi Biswas and Pahari Sanyal. - Satyajit Ray
