Kolkata’s Idhika Paul Shakib Khan’s heroine in movie’Priyotoma’
Entertainment Report :
Dhallywood’s superstar Shakib Khan has
not shot any new movie for a long time.
In the past one year, several movies have
been announced, but none of them have
finally been shot. Finally, Shakib is starting
his new movie with Himel Ashraf’s ‘Priyotoma’. It is known that he will start shooting from May 8. Kolkata’s small screen actress Idhika Paul will be Shakib’s heroine in this movie. The announcement of the movie ‘Priyotoma’ came five years ago.
Actress Shobnom Bubly was supposed to be the heroine then. As time goes by, more legends are created about the movie. Three years ago, Shakib Khan himself said that Bubly is no longer in the movie ‘Priyotoma’. Then he said to take someone new as a heroine. For a year, the heroine opposite Shakib was being sought for this movie. But no one was found. It was thought that someone from Bangladesh will be the heroine of the movie ‘Priyotoma’. However, director Himel Ashraf confirmed on Saturday that Kolkata’s Idhika Paul will be Shakib’s heroine in the movie ‘Priyotoma’.
While talking in this regard, director Himel Ashraf told this correspondent, “We wanted someone who had never been seen on screen before with Shakib Bhai and was not a very familiar face – opposite Shakib Khan. Idhika’s acting, expression, height, dancing skills seemed to suit our story and character.”
It is known that Idhika Paul has already signed the contract and finalised the ticket to come to Dhaka. If everything goes well, she will shoot for ‘Priyotoma’ from May 11.
Idhika Paul has been acting in Bengali serials since 2019. She entered the acting world after passing honors from K K Das College, Kolkata. Her debut serial was Star Jalsa’s ‘Kopalkundola’. She was in the role of ‘Padmavati’ in the serial. Idhika’s second series was ZeeBangla’s ‘Rimli’. As the TRP was low, the series is done in a short time. After the end of ‘Rimli’, Idhika acted in another ZeeBangla serial titled ‘Pilu’. In this, she was the second lead; her character’s name was ‘Ronjini’. In addition to acting, Idhika Paul is also good at dancing.
