But from the movies that I have seen, I feel that the story is very good and the production style is also very good. The same is the case with my ‘Priyotoma’ movie. When the director of my movie, respected Himel Ashraf, contacted me, I was very pleased to hear the story from him. Before coming here, I had a conversation with my hero in the movie, Shakib Khan. I got a glimpse of how many superstars he is before he came here. I have joined a good project. And of course I am grateful to Arshad Adnan, the producer of the movie. It was nice to meet him directly and talk to him. Starting to work with Hero from today, I wish everyone’s blessings.”
