In an industry where schedules are packed and free moments are fleeting, Eid becomes a special window for reconnecting. “Usually, we don’t really get to see our relatives often because everyone’s so busy. But during Eid, everyone is free, and that gives us the chance to meet, talk, and share time together. I’m really looking forward to those chats and moments.”
In conversations with The Daily Star, actors Sumaiya Shimu, Shajal, and Tama Mirza opened up about the invaluable roles their mothers played in shaping not only their careers but also their lives.
During a special screening of the film “Daagi” in a Dhaka cinema on April 7, actors, musicians, filmmakers, producers, and journalists observed a one-minute silence in support of Palestine, as part of the ongoing global strike.
Popular actress Tama Mirza is currently basking in the success of her latest film, "Daagi". Since its release during Eid, she has been visiting various theatres and receiving widespread acclaim from audiences. Reflecting on this positive reception, Tama shared with The Daily Star, "The audience has wholeheartedly embraced 'Daagi'. Their love and appreciation mean the world to us."
Among the six films released this Eid, “Daagi” marks the silver screen return of Afran Nisho after two years. Since its release on Eid day, the film has been running houseful in cineplexes, with steady audience presence in theatres—much to the delight of the actor and the entire production team.
Afran Nisho has once again captivated audiences—this time not on screen, but through a striking promotional appearance for his upcoming film “Daagi”. The popular actor was recently spotted in a prisoner’s uniform, numbered ‘786’, handcuffed and flanked by two men dressed as police officers, in a scene that instantly sparked buzz on social media.
Not too long ago, Tama Mirza impressed critics with her performance in Raihan Rafi’s web-series “Amalnama”, released on Chorki. Nowadays, the actress is busy promoting her upcoming Eid release “Daagi”, in which she stars alongside Afran Nisho in the lead role. This Shihab Shaheen directorial received its censor certificate last Monday.
Providing an insight into the film, he shared, “’Daagi’ is the story of Nishan and Jarin’s love and separation. At the same time, it is also a tale of regret and repentance for these two characters. From the teaser and romantic songs that have been released, I believe the audience has already sensed this.”
Meanwhile, on Thursday, the first song from “Daagi”, titled “Ektukhani Mon”, was released. The song has been performed by Tahsan Khan and Masha Islam, with lyrics by Sadat Hossain. The music composition and arrangement were done by Sajid Sarkar. The visuals of the song feature a romantic sequence between Nisho and Tama. Directed by Shihab Shaheen, “Daagi” also stars Sunerah Binte Kamal, Shahiduzzaman Selim, and others.
Tama started shooting “Shurongo” in remote areas of Sylhet. After that, she shot the last lot in Chittagong, amidst extreme heat with the whole unit.
Even with the busy schedule, they didn't forget to update their fans and followers about how they are making their occasion special and showcasing their gorgeous outfits complementing the festive mood.
For Tama Mirza, the idea of Eid means spending quality time with your loved ones. However, she won’t have much time to shopping, as she will be busy shooting for Raihan Rafi’s film “Shurongo” throughout the month of Ramadan.
"I promise you that despite all the complications, you will only see the best of our performance on screen,” said the actor on his big screen debut film.
After a long break, Tama is now set to return to the big screen. Currently, she is busy shooting Raihan Rafi’s latest film, "Shurongo".
Afran Nisho, who has proven his acting prowess on the small screen and OTT platforms, is now stepping into the big world of cinema. He is making his film debut with the film, "Shurongo,” directed by Raihan Rafi. Recently, the shooting of the film started in Sylhet.
Nisho will be making his silver screen debut—opposite the actress Tama Mirza—through this film.
Raihan Rafi's much awaited film, "Surongo", kicked off its star-studded muhurat ceremony yesterday, at a five-star hotel in Dhaka.
Inspired by true events, the film stars Mohammad Bari, Farzana Chobi, Njilanjana Nil, and Aditi in various roles. The film will be released on March 1 on Binge.
Audiences have found the poster to be similar to the one of Oscar winning South Korean film, “Parasite”. Not only that, Netflix documentary “House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths” also features a similar poster,
