One of the most energetic and dynamic theatre practitioners of his generation, Shankar began his theatre journey at the age of 16. While much of his reputation was built as an actor in films and as a director for television (Malgudi Days remains a landmark production on Indian TV) and movies, Shankar held theatre close to his heart and never really moved too far from the stage.
