Entertainment Report :
Zahid Hasan has been appearing less frequently in TV dramas primarily due to dissatisfaction with the storylines. This led him to consciously reduce the number of projects he takes on. News of his acting endeavours has since become rare.
However, the actor has recently shown a growing interest in OTT platforms over traditional television dramas. According to Zahid Hasan, OTT productions are handled with more care and dedication. Directors and production teams prioritise quality and avoid compromises, particularly because of the time invested in these projects. Currently, two OTT directors are preparing to launch three new projects-two web series and a web film. Zahid has already finalised discussions with both directors. The actor’s last appearance on an OTT platform was in ‘Mafia.’ Since then, he hasn’t participated in any new projects. However, he revealed that filming will begin next month on two projects directed by Raihan Rafi and Tanim Noor, respectively.
Zahid Hasan shared in this regard, “I’m no longer involved in TV dramas. The environment no longer suits me, so I’m focusing on OTT.”
One of Raihan Rafi’s projects is titled ‘Palabi Kothay’, while the titles of the other two remain undisclosed. This will also mark the first collaboration between Raihan Rafi and the actor.
Zahid mentioned that he had previously discussed potential projects with both directors.
He elaborated, “I had a conversation with Rafi during the filming of ‘Surongo’, but the project didn’t move forward. From our talks, I felt I left a positive impression on him. However, when I’m uncomfortable with certain things, I step back. Even though I didn’t like the character I was offered, his work is commendable. Unfortunately, we don’t always give enough credit to those who deserve it.”
