Anything you can tell us about “U-turn”?

Any memorable moments on the set”?

Moutushi Biswas: During the shoot for a hospital scene, the director questioned me about my heavy makeup as I played the role of a road accident victim lying on a hospital bed. Later, I had to remove the make up. After wrapping up the shooting, the entire team burst into laughter.

What's your plan on the film front?

Moutushi Biswas: Frankly, I'm not in a hurry on this front; ultimately it will depend on a strong plot.

Tell us about your daily soap on ATN Bangla?

Moutushi Biswas: Titled “Sathti Tarar Timir”, the serial is directed by Afsana Mimi. I play a very complicated character in the popular play.

Any recent projects that have proved a challenge?

Moutushi Biswas: “Jhalmuri” where I play the role of a police officer. The play is directed by Redowan Roni. Alongside the cop role, the audience will see me in the role of a domestic help. Both the characters were very challenging.
