Entertainment Report :
After an eight-year break, renowned journalist Shafik Rehman is returning to television with his iconic
magazine show ‘Lal Golap’ on Banglavision.
Rehman, who hosted the popular programme
before his prolonged absence from the country,
will be back on screens starting December 1.
The show ‘Lal Golap’ was discontinued when Rehman left Bangladesh eight years ago. Now, with his return amid the country’s shifting political landscape, Banglavision has approached him with a proposal
to revive the programme.
The 90-year-old Rehman, known for his eloquence and distinctive media presence, gladly accepted the offer, stating, “The name ‘Lal Golap’ has become inseparably tied to mine. It’s a show that has resonated with viewers both in Bangladesh and abroad.
After being off-air since April 16, 2016, due to special circumstances, I am truly delighted to return to this beloved program. I’m also thrilled to be back doing what I love, and I hope our viewers will appreciate the thoughtful
content with their families, anew.”
Rehman shared that two episodes have already been filmed, and if everything proceeds as planned,
the show will premiere on a private channel beginning December 1.
According to Banglavision sources, the show will follow its familiar format but with some fresh twists.
Each episode will focus on a specific theme, featuring segments such as excerpts from renowned films,
behind-the-scenes stories, and insightful discussions with notable guests.
Produced by Tahmina Mukta,
‘Lal Golap’ will air every Sunday at 11:30pm.
