Ankush Hazra is associated with mainstream Bengali cinema based out of Kolkata. He has played leading roles in commercial productions aimed at the wider Bengali-speaking audience across West Bengal, Tripura, and the Bengali diaspora. His filmography spans romantic dramas and action-oriented entertainers, formats that have characterised much of contemporary Tollywood output.
The Bengali film industry, popularly referred to as Tollywood after the Tollygunge area of Kolkata, is one of the older film industries in India and traces its origins to the early twentieth century. Actors such as Ankush Hazra represent the post-2010 generation of leading men who have worked alongside production banners that focus on mass-market commercial releases, distinct from the parallel art-house tradition associated with directors like Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen.
