Tell us about your recent ventures.
Right now I am well occupied with the shooting of my upcoming films. At present, I am at the shooting location of “Char Okkhorer Bhalobasha” directed by Jakir Khan, from here I will go for the shooting of “Biye Holo Bashor Holo Na” by Saddam. I will also start working on “Shortcut -e Borolok” by Chandan, “Poush Masher Piriti” by Nargis Akter and five more films.
On the occasion of Eid, one of my films “Jibon Jontrona” directed by Jahid Hossain will hit the cinemas.
What is the favourite character you are playing in the recent films?
In “Jibon Jontrona,” I am playing the character of a singer who works in a brothel. Plot of the story is based on 71’s Liberation War. I get married with a simple guy who becomes a freedom fighter with my support. He leaves for the war but, never comes back.
To me, one of the best features of the film is that, I got the opportunity to work with late eminent actor Manna. I really hope the audience will appreciate my effort.
What kind of roles do you enjoy playing in films?
Well, I love challenges in my characters, also films with unconventional story line holds a great deal of appeal for me. I always try to work with people who write a script especially for me.
Occasionally you are seen on TV nowadays. What do you think about appearing on small screen?
Well, this Eid, I will appear on two telefilms – “Notebook” directed by Rezanur Rahman and “Putul Rohoshyo” directed by Kaiser Ahmed.
I am an actor, so I want to work, it really does not matter whether I am working on small screen or silver screen.
