The Bangladesh government allocates special grants to bolster the Bengali film industry, every year. For the financial year 2023-24, the government has decided to support about 20 full-length films across four categories. Out of these, 16 films will each receive a grant of Tk 75 lakhs, while the remaining four will be awarded Tk 50 lakhs each.
Sanjoy Somadder's debut Indian film, “Manush”, premiered in Kolkata on November 24. Although there were plans to release the movie in Bangladesh on the same day, complications arose, leading to a temporary halt on the release. Originally slated for distribution in Bangladesh by Jazz Multimedia, the rights were eventually transferred to Anonno Mamun and his production company.
Amidst a brewing conflict within the Dhallywood film industry, tensions have escalated between two influential factions: Anonno Mamun's Action Cut Entertainment and Abdul Aziz’s Jaaz Multimedia, revolving around the import and release of foreign films, shifting the focus away from domestic movie production.
In an unprecedented move, a film produced in Dhaka took the leap into Tollywood, marking a significant milestone in the industry's cross-border collaborations. Sanjoy Somadder's directorial venture "Manush" boasts the acting prowess of Kolkata's superstar, Jeet, alongside acclaimed actors Jitoo Kamal, Susmita Chatterjee, and Bangladesh's Bidya Sinha Saha Mim.
National Film Award-winning actress Bidya Sinha Mim is gearing up for the release of her much-anticipated film, "Manush". The catch? The release is not happening in her home country but in the vibrant city of Kolkata, India.
"I have always celebrated puja with my parents but since they will remain abroad for a few more months, I won’t be able to celebrate with them this year," said the actress.
Tollywood actor Jeet and his wife, Mohna Madnani, embrace parenthood for the second time. Jeet, known for his stellar acting, proudly revealed this heartwarming news through his social media account on Monday.
Bidya Sinha Mim treated her fans with a mesmerising teaser of her upcoming movie, "Manush", which she shared on her social media platform today.
Written by the director Sanjoy Somadder himself, the story of "Manush" depicts the cruelty of human nature and the consequences of people losing their humanity.
The Indian production, "Manush", has been in the news for its popular cast and strong plot line which has sparked curiosity amongst the audience.
