Actor Afran Nisho has been a subject of widespread discussion and appreciation this year, courtesy of his commendable performance in his debut silver screen project, "Shurongo". Since then, he has found himself inundated with numerous scripts and film proposals, even from the other Bengal across the border.
Shahiduzzaman Selim's recent films, “Shurongo” and “Priyotoma”, generated significant buzz, and at present, he's gracing the screen in two new cinematic ventures, “Omar” and “Lipstick”. The actor recently shared some of his insights about the entertainment industry with The Daily Star.
Released during Eid, "Shurongo" gained an overwhelming response from moviegoers, with theatres across the country, including Dhaka, filling up within weeks of its release. This wave of success, however, has now extended beyond theatres to make a mark on OTT platforms.
One of the highest grossing films of Last Eid Ul Adha, can now be enjoyed on a global scale as an extended version of “Shurongo” will soon be released on Chorki. Directed by Raihan Rafi, the film marks Afran Nisho’s debut into the silver screen.
The magic of Eid-ul-Adha continues to reverberate across theatres in Bangladesh as five Eid films mark their triumphant 50-day journey on the silver screen. On the occasion of Eid, five films were released in theatres– Himel Ashraf's "Priyotoma," Raihan Rafi's "Shurongo," Bandhan Biswas' "Laal Shari," Chayanika Chowdhury's "Prohelika," and Saikat Nasir's "Casino." These movies, each with its own unique narrative and style, crossed the 50-day milestone.
Tama Mirza is on cloud nine with the thunderous response to “Shurongo”. Even in its sixth week, the film is running successfully across theatres. It is also doing well in Kolkata, USA and Canada.
Recently, Star Cineplex has released the list of top 10 movies of Star Cineplex for the month of July. And two Bangladeshi films have spotted the top two positions, beating top Hollywood big-budget movies.

Raihan Rafi's "Shurongo" became a victim of piracy as the film was leaked on movie-related platforms.
It appears that the golden age of cinema is returning once more. Audiences are going to theatres to see Bangla films instead of Hollywood flicks. This Eid-ul-Azha, five notable films were released, capturing people's attention.
Raihan Rafi's latest Eid film, "Shurongo," continues to amaze the audience since its release. The audience’s response has been overwhelming, and Afran Nisho's debut film is on track to set a remarkable new record.
The cast and crew of "Shurongo", alongside teams of Chorki and Alpha-i, are also here at Dhaka' premier Cineplex.
Yesterday, the directors of the two films respectively shared the information on their social media page.
In the bustling streets of New York, the poster of "Shurongo" is catching the attention of passersby. Just ahead of the release of "Shurongo" in the USA on July 21, the film's poster is capturing the attention of expatriate audiences.
Afran Nisho clarified that his recent comment which was interpreted as a criticism to Shakib Khan was misunderstood by the fans. In fact, the actor added that he was referring to himself rather than Shakib Khan.
Recently, Raihan Rafi held a press conference to talk about how numerous scenes of his film “Shurongo” have been leaked on social media.
On Monday, the "Shurongo" actors Afran Nisho and Tama Mirza, director Raihan Rafi, Chorki CEO Redoan Rony and Alpha-i Managing Director Shahriar Shakil addressed several issues regarding the film, including the global release details.
When a journalist teasingly asked him about how he revealed his age. Nisho gave a suggestive comment which implied an indirect dig at another popular actor.
Nisho's long-awaited silver screen appearance didn't disappoint his fans, who have been eagerly waiting to watch him where he arguably belongs.
