This December, Ziaul Faruq Apurba and Tareen Jahan are set to make their Tollywood debuts, each starring in their own films. As the Christmas season approaches, these two Bangladeshi stars will go head-to-head at theatres across West Bengal.
For nearly two decades, famed actor Ziaul Faruq Apurba has consistently won the hearts of viewers and earned widespread acclaim. He has excelled in TV dramas and OTT platforms. Marking a new milestone, he is set to make his Tollywood debut this year. Additionally, he will soon start filming for an upcoming web-project.
Ziaul Faruq Apurba is all set to emerge as the latest hero of Tollywood, marking his return to the big screen after an eight-year hiatus. The actor, especially popular on the small screen, will debut in West Bengal with “Chalchitra”, directed by Pratim D Gupta.
Ziaul Faruq Apurba, once a regular face in Bangladeshi television dramas, has become somewhat of a rare presence in recent years. Occasionally appearing in select productions, Apurba had been busy with his work on OTT platforms, most notably solidifying his position with the hit series “Golam Mamun”.
The recent political upheaval and the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government in Bangladesh have significantly impacted the entertainment industry in both Bengals. For decades, films have been co-produced by Bangladesh and India, featuring actors and actresses from both countries. However, with the current unstable political climate, these collaborations may be on hold.
Actor Ziaul Faruq Apurba posted yesterday and again today. In his latest post, he wrote, “Violence and bloodshed bring no solutions. Can’t we resolve this by listening to the students and engaging in dialogue? Do we lack voices to speak and ears to listen?”
