Shabnur, one of the popular female leads in Dhallywood during the 1990s, is going to make her directorial debut with a film which has yet to be titled.
Zahir Ahmed, screenwriter of the film, told the Dhaka Tribune: “The storyline of the film has been finalised, and the screenplay will be finished soon.”
Zahir further said that the film would be a joint venture of Bangladesh and Australia.
The film will cast new faces for the lead roles, and Shabnur herself will also portray a substantial character.
After getting married, the actor withdraw herself from the silver screen for a few years. The hiatus will end soon with Shabnur appearing as Anguri in “Jonom Jonome,” a film by Salauddin Lavlu. With a rural setting, Masum Reza has written the script and the shooting will start next month.
