Independent filmmaker Fakhrul Arefeen Khan is going to make a Liberation War-based full-length feature film titled ‘Bhuban Majhi’, where Indian actor Parambrata Chatterjee and Bangladesh’s Aparna Ghosh will be seen playing the leading roles.
Shubho mahurat of the film—which received a government-grant—was held at a city hotel on January 19. Cultural Affairs Minister Asaduzzaman Noor, cultural personality Nasiruddin Yusuf, Aparna and Parambrata, among others, were present at the ceremony.
The story of the film evolves around a spiritual man living in Kushtia, named Baul Nohor Majhi. A journalist goes to Kushtia for making a documentary on Baul and discovers a truth. Being a Baul, he was a freedom fighter who heroically fought for the country in the Liberation War of 1971, inspired by a young girl named Farida. In the film Parambrata will play the role of Baul Nohor Majhi while Aparna will play the role of Farida.
The film, based on the life of a true freedom fighter, depicts a number of historical incidents like the horror night scene of March 25, the East Pakistan Rifles (EPR) rebellion in 1971 and much more.
The other important casts of the film includes Mamunur Rashid, Sushuma Sarker, Nowshaba, Maznun Mizan, singer Waqeel, among others.
Parambrata said, “I have little bit knowledge about the Liberation War of Bangladesh, which I learnt from my family. This time around, I have learned again the history of the war for the necessity of my work. I feel proud to be an actor in a Liberation War based film.” The shooting of the film will begin on February 3 at the various locations in Dhaka and Kushtia.
To note, ‘Bhuban Majhi’ is the second film for Parambrata in Bangladesh. Earlier, he acted in Animesh Aich’s film titled ‘Bhayankar Sundor’ opposite of model-actor Bhabna.
