Ace filmmaker Mrinal Sen's family has rubbished the news doing the rounds on his demise and said that he is absolutely fine.
"News on Mrinal Sen's passing away is false. He is absolutely fine and having tea right now," Sen's family informed ANI.
The 93-year-old filmmaker, along with his contemporaries Satyajit Ray and Ritwik Ghatak, is often considered to be one of the greatest ambassadors of Indian parallel cinema on the global stage.
His cinema is known for its artistic depiction of social reality.
Some of Sen's mentionable films are 'Bhuvan Shome,' 'Mrigaya,' 'Akaler Sandhane,' 'Calcutta 71,' 'Akash Kusum,' and 'Punascha' besides others.
