Popular actress Mithila will be seen alongside Arfan Nisho in telefilm “Abaro Devdas”. Director Imraul Rafat is making the telefilm as a modern interpretation of Sharatchandra's classic novel “Devdas”.

The actors will be seen as Dip and Parul in the telefilm which also casts Jannatul Ferdous Piya, Tariq Anam Khan, Evana and Niloy among others. The shooting is currently on in a house near the capital.

About the telefilm the director said, “I have tried give “Devdas” a modern interpretation which will add a new dimension. I call upon the audience not to find parallels with the original novel.”

Arfan Nisho said, “Working with Mithila is fun since we are childhood friends. I never thought that I'd pair up with her for such a telefilm.”

Mithila said, “I have been a big fan of 'Devdas' since my childhood. It is an important milestone for me, and I hope the audience will 
receive it well.”

The telefilm will air on SATV during Eid.
