Chatterjee works primarily within the tradition of modern Indian theatre, which draws on both classical Indian dramaturgy and twentieth-century stagecraft. His practice combines acting with direction, a common pattern among Indian repertory theatre artists who progress from performance roles into staging full productions.
As an actor, Chatterjee has appeared in stage productions performed in Hindi, while as a director he has been involved in mounting plays for theatre groups and festivals. His dual role as actor-director places him within a generation of Indian theatre practitioners who have contributed to the continuity of repertory and ensemble-based work in India.
The work of practitioners such as Chatterjee is significant for sustaining live Hindi theatre outside the dominant film industries. Actor-directors play a central role in training newer performers, adapting texts for the stage, and keeping regional theatre circuits active.
