Ananta Jalil announces new film ‘Din - The Day’

Superstar Ananta Jalil has been on a hiatus from acting since his 2014 hit “Most Welcome 2.” He has recently confirmed that he will make a new film this year starring himself and wife, Afiea Nusrat Barsha. Titled “Din- The Day,” the movie will be about the peaceful teachings of Islam. Ananta said in an interview: “My film will be a protest against the negative propaganda demonizing Islam and inciting terrorism that’s plaguing our world today.” He hinted that the last scene of the film might show an anti-Muslim dying empty-handed and a good Muslim dying with his faith. He confirmed that the famous director Chhotku Ahmed is writing the screenplay and a foreign Muslim director will direct the film. The shooting will start in November in the Middle East and Morocco. “Din- The Day” will be released in theatres next year. On a different note, Ananta will appear on ATN Bangla at 11am tomorrow as the chief guest on a debate show for visually impaired students. He said in a Facebook post: “It amazed me to see how they performed so well. They have the capability to compete with anyone.”
