‘Not that I am concentrating only on Bangladeshi television channel’s reporters, I am following foreign news channels as well,’ Mehazabien says.
This is how Mehazabien is preparing herself to cope with the character she will play for her debut film ‘Warish’.
The film is a venture by popular TV play director Salahuddin Lavlu, and the shooting for the film is expected to take place soon after the Eid-ul-fitr, said Mehazabien.
Mehazabien’s character in the play is of a courageous TV reporter named Sukh, who enjoys taking up challenges. Promising model-actor Arefin Shuvo will play against her in the film to be produced by Impress Telefilm Limited.
Customarily, a Warish or Inheritor means a person who legally gets the assets and properties from his or her parents.
But the film ‘Warish’ deals with the inheritance of honesty instead, that the parents pass on to their children, informed Mehazabien.

After winning the Lux-Channel i Superstar title in 2009, Mehazabien has acted in the TV play ‘Tumi Thako Sindhu Pare’. Luckily enough, she was paired with popular actor Mahfuz Ahmed in her very first TV play. Later, she also appeared in the play ‘Bhalobasake Bhalobaste Jante Hoy’ against Nirob and in ‘Call Centre’ with Hillol.
The audience quite appreciated the newcomer in all the three plays, but Mehazabien seems not much interested in the small screen. ‘I cannot give much time for acting as I am still student’ she explains. ‘Besides, I have decided to fully concentrate on my first feature film after Eid,’ she added.
However, she has already finished shooting for another TV play which will go air on Eid. She is expected to act in one or two more dramas for Eid. She is also appeared as model for several fashion houses this Eid and worked in a TV commercial for Amin Jewellers.


“I had no intention of being an actor” -- Ferdous

Actor Ferdous is busy shooting for both Dhaliwood and Tollywood films. He is also producing a film “Ek Cup Cha.” Noim Imtiaz Neyamul is directing the film.
“The story is quite remarkable. I hope the audience will head towards movie theatres to watch the film,” said Ferdous.
Ferdous has recently acted in the film “Guerrilla”, directed by Nasiruddin Yousuff. “It's been a great opportunity for me to act in this film. The film is based on the Liberation War and has received financial assistance from the Government of Bangladesh. The film is an adaptation of a Syed Shamsul Haq story,” he said.
Asked about his experiences of acting in the film, the actor said, “It was truly an interesting experience. I've done more of a cameo in the film. I play a university teacher. Shooting was held in the northern parts of the country.”
About acting in Tollywood (Kolkata-based movie industry), Ferdous said, “So far I have acted in around 15 Tollywood films in the last two years.”
About Bangladeshi films, Ferdous pointed out that prior to working in “Guerrilla”, he acted in the film “Jolrong” directed by Shahnewaz Kakoli.
What are the noticeable differences between Dhaliwood and Tollywood films? “Distinctions are conspicuous. Commitment to work gives a boost to Tollywood films. A debate is on in our country right now, regarding whether Hindi films are to be screened or not. My view is that if we screen 10 Hindi films in Bangladesh, they have to screen 10 Bangladeshi films in India,” he responded.
About his upcoming film “Ek Cup Cha” that he is producing, Ferdous said, “I have been thinking of producing films. Noted director Basu Chatterjee has started writing the script. Internationally famed singers Runa Laila and Hari Haran (India) will do playback for a song. Moushumi is my co-artiste in the film. Renowned Tollywood director Rituparno Ghosh will also act in the film.”
Shooting for the film will kick off next month. Dhaka, Sylhet and Cox's Bazar have been selected as shooting locations. Emon Saha, Habib, Nochiketa and Bappi Lahiri will direct music for the film. Humayun Ahmed, Kabir Bakul and Zahid Akbar will write lyrics for the songs.
Talking about the initial stage of his 15-year old film career, Ferdous said, “I had no intention of becoming an actor. After Salman Shah's death in 1997, I acted in one of his unfinished films, 'Buker Bhetor Agun'. Right at that time eminent Indian director Basu Chatterjee came to Bangladesh in search of a fresh face for his film. After watching the print of 'Buker Bhetor Agun', Chatterjee selected me for his film 'Hothat Brishti' which was a major hit. 'Hothat Brishti' was the turning point of my career.”
“I would like to continue acting till the end of my days. When the audience no longer wants me on the screen, I will pull the curtain on my career,” he said.

Besides, the number of offers of acting for new TV plays is swelling day by day. However, she thinks of turning down new offers.
The audience are going to miss the regular presence of popular actor Badhon after the Eid. The Lux superstar is preparing to enter in her career as a dentist to fulfil her lifelong desire to become a successful dental surgeon.
‘I am starting my new career shortly after Eid, and I want to concentrate only on this job now,’ said the glamour girl.
She says she has already lost interest in working in the media after working in so many plays. ‘It would be meaningless if I continue acting only for money,’ said the would-be dental surgeon.
‘I have already given up acting in several drama serials. You see, I started acting in television as a hobby, I never thought to take it as a profession. Not that I am bidding acting good buy, if I find any character interesting, I will definitely will. I just don’t want to act randomly only for money,’ Badhon added.
Though Badhon has also debuted in silver-screen this year with the film ‘Nijhjum Aranya’ directed by Mushfiqur Rahman Gulzar, she said the film was also her last. ‘In fact, I cannot adjust myself to films; that is why I decided not to go for films anymore.’
However, Badhon seems enthusiast about her roles in the plays she acted in for Eid. One of the plays, Anjan Aich’s ‘Subarno Ebong O Loukik Min Santan, is expected to go on air on Desh TV. The play revolves around a girl who has nightmares about a group of fish vendor who force her to buy cat fish, a species she is afraid of.
‘I like the character very much and I tried my level best to portray the character life-like’, said Badhon.
Currently, Badhon can be seen in the popular drama serial ‘Chaitapagal’. Directed by actor Mahfuz Ahmed, the serial is being telecast on Channel i. She has also finished working for another drama serial, Arif Khan’s ‘Phul Chand Amabashya’ which will go on air on ATN Bangla soon.
