Who is this Omar Sani?

After nearly two years of absence from the silver screen, Omar Sani, who had seemingly disappeared, returned in front of the camera for Md Iqbal's film, "Dead Body". This well-known Dhallywood actor, who began his career as a protagonist, has transformed from his good-boy image to a notorious on-screen villain.

His portrayal as a villain left a mark in movies such as "Ora Dalal", "Khomotar Gorom", and "Khalash".

However, this time, the actor presents a never-before-seen appearance. He is entirely dressed in black with crimson beads adorning his neck. His eyes exude a menacing aura, and an air of mystery envelope his demeanor. Both sides of his face are adorned with obscure inscriptions and symbols, creating a mysterious vibe. We are left wondering who this unrecognisable Omor Sani is.

Omar Sani shared details about his character with local media, stating, "Our film 'Dead Body' is a horror movie with elements of fantasy.
