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. I portray a tantric who can see the restless soul of a murdered woman. I strive to chase the spirit in order to harness the power of black magic and become more formidable," said the actor.

Omar Sani emphasised that his character's appearance and dialogues set this movie apart from his previous roles. "The look of my character, along with his dialogues, is certainly distinct from my earlier work. I had to apply tattoos to various parts of my face and body to fully embrace the role of the tantric. Audiences will see me in a new light in this movie," the actor added.

Omar Sani commenced filming on October 10. "Dead Body" is being shot in Dhaka and Savar, with the second part of filming scheduled to begin on October 23 in Bandarban.

In addition to Omar Sani, the film also features Ziaul Roshan, Aunweshha Roy, Shamol Mawla, Rashed Mamun Apu, and others in pivotal roles.
