Talented actor Shashi, who loves to do challenging roles, has recently acted as a film extra in a tele-film written and directed by Alvy Ahmed.
The story of the film is about the hardships faced by an extra in Dhallywood. It is a story with a zest of freshness that is not the regular norm of TV media. In the tele-film “Dipaboli Tumi Phoenix Hoye Utho,” Shashi plays the titular character.
Her life takes an unusual turn when she meets a Mafia don, who promises to launch her as a heroine of a big budget film.
When she shares the news in the movie set where she is currently working, overnight she becomes a very important person. Even, the heroine of the film starts to regard her with respect.
But alas! Cruel fate shows its harsh face and the movie is never made. The story moves forward with Dipaboli’s struggle after her fall from grace.
About her role in the tele-film, Shashi, who came into the limelight with her performance in Salahuddin Lavlu’s soap “Ghar Kutum,” said: “This role has a completely different dimension and was truly challenging in all sense. It is quite touching as it shows the humiliation our society is capable of bestowing on a person, once he or she is removed from a position of importance. I am grateful to Alvy Ahmed for trusting me with such a difficult role.”
Shashi believes the tele-play will be considered as another milestone of her career.
Director Alvy Ahmed states: “I am truly impressed with Shashi, as she played the role with grace and finesse. She is a terrific actor and will definitely go a long way.”
The tele-film will be aired during Eid-ul-Azha in GTV.
