Rafiath Rashid Mithila and FS Nayeem starrer "Jole Jwole Tara" is all set for release next month. Directed by Arun Chowdhuri, the government-funded film will showcase Mithila in a completely unique character.

In the film, Mithila plays Tara, a traveling entertainer who performs circus acts along the riverbank. Describing her character, she said, "It's a completely unique role and a one-of-a-kind story—something audiences have never seen before."

Sharing her experience on set, she revealed, "We filmed along the banks of the Kaliganga River, and several of my scenes were shot on a boat, right in the water."

Discussing the film's narrative, she added, "Tara works in a circus, and the story revolves around a strong female protagonist. It's a beautifully crafted film meant for viewers of all backgrounds, and I believe everyone will enjoy it."

When asked about the challenges of portraying Tara, Mithila admitted, "The role was quite demanding, especially the boat scenes. We shot for several days under the scorching sun, which was physically exhausting. But I decided to enact it as it challenged me as an artiste."

She shared, "In the circus, there's a performance where a knife is thrown just inches away from the body. I had to actually do that for real. Portraying such a character was a thrilling and unique experience."

In "Jole Jwole Tara", Mithila stars alongside Nayeem. Speaking about his role, she said, "Nayeem plays a boatman in the film. Since my character is a wandering girl, she eventually crosses paths with him. A bond develops between them, but whether it blossoms into love and finds its resolution is something the audience will have to watch the film to find out."

When asked about her equation with Nayeem, Mithila shared, "We've been friends since college and have worked together in dramas before, but this is our first collaboration in a film. We've known each other for many years, and even our mothers have been acquainted for a long time. Naeem is highly organised, hardworking, and a genuinely good person."

Reflecting on her collaboration with director Arun Chowdhuri, Mithila shared, "This is my first time working with Arun da. The moment he gave me the script to read, I was drawn to the story."

In "Jole Jwole Tara", Fazlur Rahman Babu portrays Mithila's father, while Monira Akter Mithu plays her mother. The cast also includes Azad Abul Kalam and Shahed Ali in pivotal roles.
