Afzal appears as 'Choto Kaku' this Eid

Once a regular actor of small screen, Afzal Hossain has made it big in the industry as a TVC maker, but his recent appearances are more selective in nature. He was also a dominating theatre actor and was recently seen in a collage production of Dhaka Theatre featuring the important episodes of the troupe's plays staged in the past 40 years.    The prominent actor has spread his horizon and has included directing and producing into his impressive career profile. This Eid, the audience will again get to see the much loved actor in the role of a caring and compassionate person, who helps solve problems of individuals. In the play, he is affectionately known as "Choto Kaku."   The special attraction of the drama is that, unlike regular soap series, it will only be aired during Eid season. The story of the play is based on writer Faridur Reza Sagar's suspenseful story with the same title as the drama. The first story of the series titled "Coxbazarer Kakatua" will air on Channel i for eight consecutive days, starting on the day before the upcoming Eid.    Prominent thriller writer Abdul Hakim has dramatised 35 episodes of the series. The next episodes will air during other Eid festivals. While talking to Dhaka Tribune about the drama, the outstanding entertainer said:     "My co-actors in the drama are Archa, new comer Shimanto and Shams Shumon. I chose this drama as it is based on children, few dramas now a days are done solely in the interest of children. Most of the dramas on air are made for young and older audience. We complain about these issues, but do very little to bring about a change or shift in the current trend.   Therefore, this time around, I gave upper hand to the child audiences of the country. Although, the drama 'Choto Kaku' is targeted to woo the children, adults will also enjoy the story immensely.   The story of 'Choto Kaku' is a popular detective story. Around twenty-five stories have been published already. The plot revolves around an inquisitive boy and many mysteries."
