The virtual space has become a battleground of talent, with actors rising to prominence through their exceptional performances in web series and films. As we bid adieu to 2023, it's time to acknowledge and celebrate the top 10 actors who have been the talk of the town, captivating audiences with their unmatched acting prowess.
As the year 2023 comes to an end, it's been a year of triumph for numerous stars in our entertainment industry. From TV dramas to web series and blockbuster films, the industry has witnessed an array of talents showcasing their skills and captivating audiences. Let's discuss the most talked-about Bangladeshi entertainment personalities of 2023.
“When are you going to have a baby?” is the question that Tithi, portrayed by Nusrat Imrose Tisha, is met with, within the initial five minutes of “Something Like an Autobiography”. It is unfortunately safe to say that even in the year 2023, people somehow find it acceptable to ask this to most married individuals, who especially face these after they've been married for a good number of years.
The singer-turned-actor, Tisha, used to sing and started her career as a musician and even had a band of her own named “'Angels Four” with prominent musician sensations of the country, Dilshad Nahar Kona, Nafisa, and Rumana.
The song, titled “Jochonar Phool”, is written by Chirkutt frontline Sharmin Sultana Sumi and she jointly tuned and composed it with the songwriter and Chirkutt member Pavel Areen. The latter also produced the song. Mostofa Sarwar Farooki himself released the song on Wednesday through his Facebook profile.
Mostofa Sarwar Farooki has successfully concluded filming of his most recent project, "Last Defenders of Monogamy". The film features renowned actor Chanchal Chowdhury, known for his roles in "Karagar" and "Hawa", alongside musician Xefer Rahman. Additionally, the cast includes Samina Husain Prema and Shuddho Rai.
During the premiere, Shyam Benegal expressed, "To be honest, I've immensely enjoyed working on this film. It's a great honor that the Prime Minister of Bangladesh and Mujib's daughter, Sheikh Hasina, enjoyed the movie."
Prior to this, Farooki mentioned, "The work on 'Autobiography' is complete, the festival screenings are over, and there is a sense of peace I feel about the film. In two days, it will be screened in Mumbai. And within just a few days, we will have to deliver the film to the distributors, so that everyone can watch it soon."
The week-long free screening of the film, "Mujib: The Making of A Nation" commenced with an inaugural show at 3 pm at Madhuban Cinema Hall, Bogura, yesterday.
Tisha cited that the narrative of “Mujib” has been shown from Bangamata’s perspective. After being a part of the project, the actress realised that this film will remain as a visual testament for the next generation, to know about the actual contributions of Bangamata.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina expressed her strong wish for the nation to witness the biographical film, "Mujib: The Making of A Nation" and she herself attended the premiere alongside the lead actor, Arifin Shuvoo.
As “Mujib: The Making of The Nation” drops in theaters today, Bangladeshi audiences will get to witness the personal journey of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and how his love for the country inspired him to fight till his death.
The film is all set to have the nationwide theatrical release tomorrow.
Arifin Shuvoo responded to a question about how well he portrayed the role of Bangabandhu by saying, "I'm not the one who should judge that; the audience will. What I can say is that the film's director, Shyam Benegal, is quite satisfied with my performance. Additionally, Bangabandhu's family has seen the film and expressed their satisfaction. They have acknowledged the effort and hard work we put into it."
