Director-artist Khalid Mahmud Mithu is finally done with the shooting of his upcoming big budget movie Jonakir Alo. After completing fifteen months of shooting and post-production, the movie has been submitted to the censor board, informed the director to Dhaka Tribune.
Mithu says, “I target December to release the film, if everything goes smooth.”
After sending huge ripples with his debut feature film “GohineShabdo,” the director is to display some bold issues in Jonakir Alo.
The National Film Award-winning director is going to portray his criticism on social obstinacy through the eyes of an urban woman. With the backdrop of a “hero dominated” film industry the progressive director is again coming up with a female character as the lead role of his film.
The talented director, who is also an acclaimed artist, says to Dhaka Tribune: “The film revolves around Kabita, who dreams of working for children’s welfare, and is torn between adopting a child and her responsibility as a daughter-in-law of a conservative family.” Most interestingly, the protagonist meets the legendary artist SM Sultan and becomes inspired with his philosophy, said Mithu.
Gazi Rakayet has enacted the role of SM Sultan and Bidya Sinha Saha Mim is the lead actress of the movie. “The story develops with a triangular love story and the viewers will experience a couple of melodious songs shot in some fascinating spots of St Martin’s Island and Rangamati,” says Mithu. Imon and Kalyan play the two lovers of the heroine.
About her role in the film, celebrated actress Mim shares with Dhaka Tribune, “I always like to work in off-track productions. In this film I have enacted such a character which I have never done before. At a point in the movie, the heroine becomes sick and proves to be unable of being a mother. The struggle begins when she decides to adopt a child and her husband and in-laws oppose her decision.”
Mim said that she had to work really hard to carry out such a bold character. “The hardest part was portraying the contrast between the emotion and the boldness of a barren woman,” expresses Mim.
