Entertainment Desk :
Ten movies were initially scheduled to be released in
cinemas during Eid-ul-Azha. However, four of them -‘Nadan’, ‘Sardar Barir Khela’, ‘Shironaam’, and ‘Pinik’ – withdrew from the lineup at the last moment.
Now, the majority of these films are preparing to make their theatrical debut during Durga Puja this September, said a press release.
Director Farhad Hossain had announced an Eid release for film ‘Nadan’ on May 13 with the launch of its first-look poster. However, just a week before Eid, the filmmaker revealed that technical complications had forced a delay. “Now we’re targeting a Durga Puja release. If all goes according to plan, the film will premiere in
cinemas nationwide this September 26,” he said.
Another delayed release film ‘Pinik’, directed by Jahid Jewel,
was pulled from its initial Eid-ul-Fitr schedule due to pending VFX work. The psychological thriller stars Ador Azad and Shobnom Bubly in lead roles with an ensemble cast including Ali Raj, Fazlur Rahman Babu, Azad Abul Kalam, Momena Chowdhury, Masum Bashar and Sharif Siraj.
“We’re now aiming for a Durga Puja release and will announce the final date at a press conference soon,” director Jahid Jewel said.
The government grant-winning film ‘Sardar Barir Khela’, directed by Rakhal Sabuj and starring Ziaul Roshan, Bubly, and Azad Abul Kalam, is also preparing
for a Durga Puja release.
The production company plans to announce the release formally
at an upcoming media briefing.
However, ‘Shironaam’, directed by Anik Biswas, is still finalising
its release schedule.
The film had just five to six
days of shooting left when
it was announced for Eid.
The film ‘Shironaam’ reflects on contemporary social and political realities, exploring the hopes and struggles of everyday people.
Its cast includes Nirab Hossain, Eamin Haque Bobby, Salahuddin Lavlu, Shatabdi Wadud, Kochi Khondokar, Farzana Chobi
and Dilruba Doyel.
