Entertainment Report :
Actress Tasnia Farin, known for her popular roles in ‘Kachher Manush Dure Thuiya’ and ‘Nishwas’, ventures into the world of cinema with a movie titled ‘Fatima’.
The movie is set to grace the screens of cinema halls across the country on May 24. It was announced by its director Dhrubo Hasan recently.
The movie gained widespread recognition in the Eastern Vista competition at Iran’s Fajr Film Festival last year.
Not only did the movie participate, but it also clinched an award at the festival.
Tasnia Farin’s exceptional performance in the movie earned her the prestigious Crystal Simorgh Award at the 42nd edition of the prestigious festival.
In anticipation of the movie’s release, Outcast Films, the production house behind the project, organised an event recently at their office, bringing together directors, artistes, and industry professionals.
They reminisced about the journey of making the movie and shared anecdotes from behind the scenes. Director Dhrubo Hasan recalled that initially, the movie was titled ‘Dahokaal’ but as the story evolved, it was renamed ‘Fatima’, though it retains elements from its original narrative.
Tasnia Farin, known for her performances in web films beyond the border of Bangladesh, makes her cinematic debut with ‘Fatima.’
Earlier this year, Farin starred in the web film ‘Osomoy.’
Additionally, she has acted in a Kolkata’s movie and won the Filmfare Bangla Best Newcomer Award for her performance.
Expressing her joy at the impending release of her debut movie, Tasnia Farin said, “‘Fatima’ is my first local movie.
The shooting experience was beautiful but work was suddenly suspended midway, and there was a long hiatus. I started working regularly in dramas during this time.
After nearly six years, Dhrubo Hasan called me and expressed his desire to resume work on the film.
I was a bit surprised and wondered how it would be possible after so many years. But I had faith in Dhrubo Bhai that he would finish the film no matter what.”
“Ultimately, the movie has turned out very well, and it has traveled to several film festivals outside the country. I also attended the Fajr Festival in Iran where I received the Best Actress award. Now, I am eagerly awaiting the movie’s release,” she added.
‘Fatima’ features singer Pantha Kanai in a significant role. Apart from Tasnia Farin and Pantha Kanai, the movie also stars Tariq Anam Khan, Manosh Bandyopadhyayy, Yash Rohan, Sumit Sen Gupta, and Ayesha Monika Hira, amongst others. Pavel Areen is the music director of the movie.
