THE ULTIMATE MAN

Amongst the many talent hunts in Bangladesh, many of which open the doors to the media for the finalists, almost all are exclusively for women. Because of this, the talent in women in the media sector is high but there is much to be desired in the men's department. That may soon change with the initiative taken by Fair and Handsome, Channel i and the Bangladesh Navy. Last year, they introduced a new talent hunt programme targeting male talent called “The Ultimate Man”. The show is directed by Raihan Khan and presented by Nusrat Fariha. This year, after auditions in Khulna, Rajshahi, Chittagong and Dhaka and 23 episodes of the show already broadcasted, the Ultimate Man won his glory in the final episode aired on 22nd October 2014. Missed the final episode? Don't fret. We will bring you the winner in the next issue of Star Showbiz. For now, check out the five finalists.
