The Suman Mukhopadhyay directorial film “Putulnacher Itikatha” also known as “The Puppet’s Tale” is set to compete at the Big Screen Compilation line-up at the 54th International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR).
Bangladesh emerged as a sovereign state on December 16, 1971, following a nine-month-long Liberation War. This year, the nation celebrates Victory Day with renewed fervour, especially after the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s regime on August 5, 2024.
The film won an award at the Bengaluru International Film Festival, and was also nominated for the ICFT–UNESCO Gandhi Medal at India’s 53rd International Film Festival. "The recognition ‘Nakshikanthar Zamin’ has received abroad is a significant achievement for this film,” remarks Jaya.
Actress Jaya Ahsan, who has already made a significant mark on India’s OTT platforms, is now set to venture into Bangladeshi web series with her debut project, “Jimmi.”
Jaya Ahsan, known for enamouring audiences in both Bangladesh and India, is popular for her bold and unique fashion style. Recently, the actress attended the Filmfare OTT Awards, where she showcased our rich cultural heritage by blending the traditional Jamdani into a modern dress.
Last year, Bangladesh’s Jaya Ahsan achieved a groundbreaking milestone at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), representing five films spanning three distinct film industries. This year, she will return to the 55th edition of IFFI with the film “Bhootpori”, which has been selected to be screened in the Feature Film segment within the Indian Panorama section of the festival.
Director Mejbaur Rahman Sumon, known for his success with “Hawa,” is now preparing for his next project titled “Roid,” featuring Nazifa Tushi and Mostafizur Noor Imran in lead roles.
The film “Devi” (2018) is an adaptation of a novel by celebrated author Humayun Ahmed. Helmed by director Anam Biswas, the movie featured Jaya Ahsan in a central role, while Chanchal Chowdhury portrays the character of Misir Ali. Additionally, the film showcased a noteworthy performance from television actress Sabnam Faria, who took on a key role in the film.
Nearly everyone has voiced their opinions in this climate of division, symbolised by red and black. Yet, one prominent figure, acclaimed Bangladeshi actress Jaya Ahsan, remained notably silent.
A dive into history reveals similar narratives. In 1968, Sharmila Tagore's decision to wear a bikini for a photoshoot wasn't seen as an artiste's choice but became a canvas for societal moral commentary. Fast forward to the present, and Bollywood luminary Deepika Padukone often finds her neckline inciting more fervour than her critically acclaimed roles.
Leading the pack amongst Bangladeshi stars is Jaya Ahsan, who has been a consistent presence in Kolkata's Bengali cinema for over a decade. Not only has she won the hearts of Kolkata's audience, but she has also received numerous awards and accolades.
Popular actress Jaya Ahsan recently took part in the opening ceremony of a wellness center for animals. As the animal lover that she is, she took it upon herself to talk fondly about the organisation called Pranicool Animal Wellness Center.
After a five-year hiatus, Jaya Ahsan is collaborating once again with Indian filmmaker Srijit Mukerji for the movie "Dawshom Awbotaar".
According to reports, Srijit was suffering from fever, and they were at the last phase of the shooting, with a one day shoot remaining to complete the film.
Excitement levels soared as the official logo launching ceremony took place today at the historic Basubati in Kolkata, where the star-studded cast gathered to celebrate the beginning of an unforgettable cinematic journey.
The "Shurongo" team looked super excited engaging in funny banters with popular host Mir Afsar Ali. Afran Nisho, Raihan Rafi and Tama Mirza also enjoyed a hearty brunch with Jaya Ahsan and Srijit Mukherji.
National award-winning actor Jaya Ahsan wanted to watch Juboraj Shamim's "Adim" since its release in Bangladesh, but unfortunately, she couldn't make time to watch it at Star Cineplex.
Jaya Ahsan, the renowned actress who has captivated audiences on both sides of Bengal, has once again proven her reign over the silver screen. Her latest film, "Ardhangini," has been drawing houseful crowds in Kolkata for six consecutive Sundays, cementing its status as a blockbuster hit.
Mithila further emphasised that she has known Jaya for a long time, even before her marriage to Srijit, and sees no reason to make a fuss about their past.
