Release of Gias Uddin Selim’s ‘Kajol Rekha’ to delay again
Entertainment Report :
The much-anticipated release of popular director Gias Uddin Selim directed movie titled ‘Kajol Rekha’ has reportedly been delayed
further due to the team’s plan to launch wider promotional activities.
The movie featuring Sariful Islam Razz, Rafiath Rashid Mithila and debutant Mondera Chakroborty
as its lead roles was scheduled to release on February 9. However, the movie hasn’t yet been submitted to the Film Producers and Distributors Association to get approval for
a release, according to sources.
Regarding this issue, director Gias Uddin Selim said, “Although we have completed the movie’s post-production, if we release it in February, we will get a very limited time for promotion. We will finalise the release date of the film once
we are done with the promotional plans and their proper
executions.”
Hinting at an April release, Selim said, “The plot and essence of this movie will align perfectly with Pohela Baishakh (Bengali New Year). We are making plans to release
the movie at a suitable time like that and so an official
announcement will be
made very soon.”
When he was asked about their previous announcement of releasing the movie on the upcoming Valentine’s Day, Gias Uddin Selim said, “Actually, if everything had been ready, I would have released the movie on Valentine’s Day.
But there have been delays due
to various reasons.”
He also said, “There were issues with government funding, matters related to the ministry, and then there was the election issue. Now, we are waiting for the censor certificate. Adding to that, a lot of
promotion is needed. In a country with so many people and
so many events, it takes time to reach people. If we run an intensive promotion for a month, people will get to know about our film, and
it will bid well for us. We are in the midst of this process, and
we will see what happens.”
The shooting of ‘Kajol Rekha’ began in April 2022. The story
of the movie has been derived from Dinesh Chandra Sen’s ‘Maimansingha Gitika’, a collection of folk ballads from the region
of Mymensingh, Bangladesh.
Shariful Raz, Mondera Chakraborty, Rafiath Rashid Mithila, Sahana Rahman Sumi, Sadia Ayman, Azad Abul Kalam, Iresh Zaker, Khairul Bashar, Rahmat Ali, Gousul Alam Shaon, amongst others acted in this
movie in various roles.
