Apurbo, one of the busiest actors of recent times, made his breakthrough in modelling career by conquering the title of “Mr Bangladesh” in 2002 in the talent hunt show called “You Got the Looks.” Hitting the small screen in 2006, the model-turned-actor gradually emerged towards becoming a popular face in romantic plays.
A purbo had just finished shooting for a TV play titled “Shopno Ghuri,” in which he portrayed a cancer patient. Dhaka Tribune caught up with the actor who said about the play: “I am playing the role called Opu who is diagnosed with cancer. Music is his passion but he is counting his last days.”
“I have worked in numerous TV plays where I end up dying. Therefore, death is nothing unusual, it’s the ultimate truth,” the actor went on saying.
“Besides, in this play directed by Chayanika Chowdhury, the cinematographer Anwar Hossain Bulu has done an excellent job. I am pairing up with Sonia Hossain,” he added.
However, the distinguished performer seems to venture many more dimensions of the performing arts. Besides the romantic roles, Apurbo has recently made his debut on silver screen with “Gangster Returns” where his “action hero” image is expected to entertain his bulk of fans.
In the trailer Apurbo is seen portraying an action figure with firearms in two of his hands, narrating the story of a gangster and the fall of a star. The spark of vengeance inside brought the protagonist into the world of crime.
A story of lost love, envy and honour, Gangster Returns is scheduled to be released in March next year.
