Satyajit Ray’s creation Professor Shonku was inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘Professor Challenger’ and ‘Hesoram Husiar’, another unique character made by his father Sukumar Ray. The film’s narrative also has professor Shonku’s companions – his domestic helper Prahlad, his cat Newton and neighbour Abinash Babu.
