No strings attached

Wealthy and privileged Apurbo lives the unrestrained party lifestyle, living it up with his girlfriend Sarika in town. Through a series of incidents, the young Romeo gets in touch with his cultural roots, and becomes what he once thought of as a “backdated” person. This is the story of telefilm “Backdated,” written and directed by Apurbo himself, addressing what he believes to be “the moral degradation” of the present generation, while extolling the practical and emotional values of the culture of our society where family bond is the first priority.

In a conversation with Apurbo, he said: “I have been writing this story for quite a long time. I discovered only I can portray the story and convey the message in a manner that I want.”

Apurbo who has a keen interest in photography and an institutional background in graphic animation said: “It is challenging to juggle the work of an actor, director and writer simultaneously,  but my experience working with good directors encouraged me to take up such a challenge.”

The telefilm will be aired on a satellite channel this Eid.

Best known for his good looks, Apurbo has come a long way since his modelling days. Although Apurbo mostly acts for romantic scenes, he stars in a feature film “Gangster Return” which will release soon where he breaks from his previous image and appears as an action hero. The actor-director is happy with the way things are on small screen as far as his career is concerned.

Apurbo is also planning to open a restaurant in the capital soon. He is also making time for his family and excited to welcome his first child.
