He participated in the International Folk Song Festival in Havana, Cuba in 1978. He has also been involved in making documentaries and films on socio cultural aspects of India. He composed music for the film "I am Kalam". After a hiatus of 25 years, he got back to the studio to record his critically acclaimed album "Public Issue" in 2006. In 2019, he appeared in If Not for You,^[3] a documentary about Kolkata's long lasting love affair with legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
