Controversy always follows this man. This actor and director is also an accomplished orator and a brilliant teacher, according to his students of Literature. Through Nandikar, his theatre group, Rudraprasad conducts performances and workshops across the country. This man who did not receive systematic schooling until the ninth standard delivers lectures on Shakespeare with the same dynamism that is evident in his play adaptations and performances -- for example, in Shanu Mukherjee, one of his latest productions with his accomplished wife Swatilekha.
