His notable production credits included Mazaaq (1975) and Do Ladke Dono Kadke (1979). Both films featured Moushumi Chatterjee in significant roles. He was also associated with Biwi Aur Makan (1966), including its music department. Jayanta further expanded his association with entertainment through the television serial Talaash, which aired in 1992.
