Actress Xefer returns this Boishakh
Xefer Rahman is a popular singer of the current time, known for her unique style of music that has earned her recognition among listeners. In addition to singing, she also writes and composes songs. Transitioning from music to acting, Xefer has also made a mark as an actress.
She made her acting debut through Mostofa Sarwar Farooki’s film ‘Last Defender of Monogamy’, where she starred alongside Chanchal Chowdhury. Later, she appeared in Shihab Shaheen’s web series ‘Myself Allen Swapan-2’. Alongside acting in films and series, Xefer has also gained popularity as a playback singer. Her folk-fusion track ‘Sundori Komola’ and the uniquely styled ‘Boyam Pakhi 2.0’ received great responses from fans.
After a few months’ break, Xefer Rahman is returning to the screen as an actress. This time, her co-star is another popular singer and actor, Pritom Hasan. The two have previously worked together on songs, but this marks their first on-screen pairing. Shihab Shaheen has brought them together in the web film ‘Tumi Ami Shudhu’, which is set to release on April 14 on the OTT platform Binge, marking the Bengali New Year.
The shooting of the web film was completed about a year ago but was delayed due to technical issues. After overcoming various complications, it is finally set to be released. Last week, Binge announced the release date by unveiling the teaser on Monday evening.
Speaking about the story, director Shihab Shaheen said, “It is based on the story of a girl’s independent will. She always prioritises her own desires and wants to shape her life according to her independence. However, this independence leads to complications at one point, and the story progresses around those complexities. It can also be described as a love story of a couple. The audience will find something new in it, and I hope they will enjoy it.”
Regarding working with two musicians, he added, “Both Pritom and Xefer have proven themselves in acting. Pritom performs well alongside his music career, and Xefer is very sincere about her work. I am optimistic about this pair.”
The web film also features Manas Bandyopadhyay, Shamu Chowdhury, Munmun Ahmed, Abdullah Al Sentu, among others. In addition to directing, Shihab Shaheen has written the story and screenplay of the film.
