Dhallywood heartthrob Arefin Shuvo and Lux Channel i Superstar Zakia Bari Momo will be seen together on the silver screen in a film titled Chhuye Dile Mon. It is the directorial debut of Shihab Shaheen in the film industry. The film also features Iresh Zaker and Ali Raj in leading roles. Habib Wahid and Sajid Sarkar are to produce music and the shoot begins on May 3. After a lengthy hiatus from the film industry, Momo will grace her fans once again with this romantic flick. Her last movie was Daruchini Dwip in 2006 which bagged her a National Award. About her lengthy absence, Momo said: “The film industry back then was a bit different. To my understanding, this is the perfect time to return. Due to the availability of good theatres in the country at present, the audience are once again going to the cinemas. I am inspired by their interest, therefore for their benefit and my own, I want to shine like a diamond on the silver screen.”
Popular actor Arefin Shuvo said: “The script was very appealing and I was really drawn towards the story. I will also get to see several locations of my beautiful country as the shooting will take place in multiple localities. I will try to do justice to my role as well.”
Director of the film Shihab Shaheen said: “I have worked in the media for a long time, both TV and theatre, and have learned a lot from our films. I had a dream of making a full length film and now I am really close to making it happen. I am hopeful that the audience will appreciate the story which offers something new.”
