Siam Ahmed and Nazifa Tushi will appear together on screen for the first time in director Shankha Dasgupta's new film "Abar Dekha Hole," which is set to reach theaters this coming Eid-ul-Fitr.
The drama is Dasgupta's second feature made for theaters, after "Priyo Maloti." His OTT film "Cha Gorom" was widely acclaimed. Dasgupta describes the new film as family-friendly.
National Film Award-winning actor Chanchal Chowdhury plays a significant role. The cast also includes Deepa Khandakar, Azizul Hakim, Bijori Barkatullah and Rezwan Pervez.
Dasgupta said the story revolves around the middle class and explores emotions, family values and relationships, with humor throughout. He said it is not overly serious and that the performances are among its biggest strengths. At its core, he said, it is a story about rediscovering oneself, revisiting the past and reconnecting with one's roots. The background score and songs, he added, will be among the film's defining elements.
Md Saifullah Riad wrote the screenplay. Filmy Features produced the film, which is presented by Singer and Beko. Chorki joined as co-producer and official digital partner, in association with MIB Studios.
