Actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya has been a part of the film industry for over two decades now. The actor who is popularly known for essaying negative characters of Yeda Yakub in 'Black Friday' and Chunnilal in Dev D, fails to understand why he is known for his negative characters. Bhattacharya says he has done more positive characters than negative. “My character in 'Undekhi' is the most positive character. Even in 'Jamtara', my character may seem negative in the start but becomes positive towards the end. Even in 'Rocket Boyz', he is a positive character who is being framed. In Ghuspaith also, he is just a positive character,” says Bhattacharya in conversation with mid-day.com. 

Among Dibyendu’s well known characters are Chunnilal from 'Dev D' and Yeda Yakub from 'Black Friday'. While both characters are known to come in the negative realm, the actor says, “Chunnilal was not a negative character, he was just a character. He is into the business so he does what is required of his job. But my character Yeda Yakub from Black Friday was completely negative. I played a negative character in ‘Criminal Justice’, ‘Mission Raniganj’ and in 'BA Pass'. I always joke that if a man is dark and he does a negative character it  becomes popular.” In the recently released film 'Mission Raniganj', Bhattacharya plays Sen, who is out to sabotage the mission in order to get back at another officer. Describing the film as nationalist, heroic, and mainstream,' Bhattacharya says that the constant sabotage by his character makes the act of the hero more heroic.
