Alif Chowdhury who came into the limelight as TV anchor with Pond’s My Second Honeymoon, has created his niche in the industry as a model, actor and TV anchor.
At present, Alif has broadened his horizons to work in a movie with the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune. The institution boasts a rich legacy in quality Indian cinema and has been at the forefront of aesthetic and technological breakthroughs in Indian cinema over the decades. A group of students from the institute is producing the film, in which Alif is in one of the leading roles.
About the film Alif said: “The institution produces films every year as a part of their curriculum. These are student projects that do not get a commercial release, but are screened at reputed film festivals.”
He adds, “Though the movie is not mainstream, I am still pleased to work on it. Many prominent Indian directors are involved in this film. After finishing, the director will decide at which festivals he will screen the movie.
“The title of the movie has not been fixed yet. The film was directed by Bangladeshi student Shuborna Shejuti Tushi.”
On his desire to work in Bollywood, he states: “A lot of promising actors are trying to make their entry into Bollywood through these kinds of projects. I felt fortunate when I was offered the opportunity to work in this film. It is a good stepping stone for me to enter Bollywood.”
