At present, the feeling of patriotism is quiet prominent among the people of Bangladesh and many filmmakers are addressing the glorious history and coming up with films consisting patriotic messages and stories. Shafi Uddin Shafi’s upcoming film Fand – The Trap is such a film, it has both the elements of patriotism and a complicated love story, set in the backdrop of a foreign country. The 130 mints movie will hit the cinemas on April 25.
Dhallywood king Shakib Khan and Achol will be seen romancing on screen for the first time in The Trap. Both of them are playing the lead roles while Amit Hassan and international casts from Malaysia and Singapore also will be seen in the film.
Dhaka Tribune caught up with the director recently. He shared his outlook of the film: “It is a complicated but entertaining script. It does follow the stereotypical ‘boy meets girl’ love story, but there is a twist.
It focuses on both nationalism and also the relationship of the lead characters. The film explores both thriller and action in the plot. After the announcement of an important scientific theory in a press conference, it gets stolen. The protagonist struggle to rescue the information from getting into the wrong hands. In short it encompasses love and patriotism.”
About the title of the film, the director said: “One of the main focus of the film is about trapping international criminals and rescuing national property, that is where the inspiration of the title came from.”
