Filmmaker Raihan Rafi has unveiled the first look of Siam Ahmed’s character in his upcoming supernatural thriller "Andhar." Siam plays detective Delwar in the film.
Rafi has been gradually releasing unofficial first looks of the film’s characters, previously featuring Nazifa Tushi, Afsana Mimi, Farrukh Ahmed Rehan, and Chanchal Chowdhury.
Sharing Siam’s first look on social media, Rafi praised the actor’s performance and said he had long wanted to create a classic hero character.
Rafi described Delwar as a hero who takes on evil forces without seeking personal gain or revenge. Drawing comparisons with characters such as Sherlock Holmes and Batman, he said the character stands beside people simply because they are in danger.
According to Rafi, Siam has fully immersed himself in the role. The filmmaker said that although he had considered several actors for the role before filming, he could no longer imagine anyone else playing Delwar after completing the shoot.
Siam also shared the first look on social media, describing Delwar as one of the most demanding yet rewarding characters of his career. He said the role allowed him to explore different facets of his acting.
“Andhar” is a supernatural horror film that blends elements of mystery, thriller, murder, and drama. The makers have not announced an exact theatrical release date, although the film is targeting a year-end release.
The ensemble cast includes Siam Ahmed, Nazifa Tushi, Chanchal Chowdhury, Mostafa Monwar, Farrukh Ahmed Rehan, Afsana Mimi, Gazi Rakayet, Swarnali Choity, and Tanzika Amin.
