Bidya Sinha Mim and Nirob are on cloud nine as they have signed up for veteran Indian filmmaker-actor-singer Anjan Dutt’s upcoming flick “Mon Baksho.” Written by Tushar Abdullah, also an accomplished journalist of Bangladesh, the film is the first directorial venture of Anjan Dutt in Bangladesh. His fans will be more elated to know that the gifted artiste will also be acting in the film.
“Mon Baksho” is an entirely Bangladeshi production in which a few of Anjan Dutt’s close co-workers and singers from Kolkata will work along with Bangladeshi actors, crew and singers, said Dutt to the Dhaka Tribune.
When asked about his decision to make a film in Bangladesh, the dynamic Anjan said: “The script itself convinced me to do so. It has many shades of gray and a director like me is always allured by such features in a script.”
Anjan, who, through his directorial projects like “The Bong Connection,” “Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbona,” “Dutta Vs Dutta” to name a few, evolved as one of the most demanding directors for the urban audience, said: “‘Mon Baksho’ is also targeted towards the urban audience of Bangladesh.”
The story of the film revolves around a bohemian poet (Dutt) and his daughter Moitri (Mim). The psychological drama depicts the hiccups in the relationship between the father and daughter while she faces trouble in her love life. On the other hand, Nirob will play the role of a bold young man named Doirgho who is Moitri’s lover.
Both the actors, who signed for the film on Wednesday night at a guest house in Dhanmondi, are extremely excited to be a part of Anjan Dutt’s film and consider it a big break for their careers.
Mim said: “This is one of the biggest achievements of my journey as an actress. I am a big fan of Anjan’s films and music.”
Nirob said: “I was in talks for the film for the last two weeks and throughout the time I was nervous. Now I am nervous once again since this could be the biggest chance for me to prove my skill.”
The shoot will begin in the mid of November in Moulvibazar and later in some locations of Dhaka.
