Take a Break casts trifecta of stars
Three beauties took over the 90's modeling scene by storm, before creating similar ripples in the small screen. Sadia Islam Mou, Tanvin Sweety and Tania Ahmed still lead busy, successful careers in showbiz, and the trio has remained close friends over the years. For the first time ever, they have signed onto work in a TV play together.
Said to release during Eid ul Azha on SA TV, the six episode play “Take a Break” is helmed by popular television director Arif Khan and scripted by Shilpi Mahalanabish. Sadia Islam Mou will don the role of Shweta, whereas Tanvin Sweety and and Tania Ahmed will play Trina and Shoma respectively. Filming is currently underway at Uttara.
On Monday, when making my way to the shooting house, Tanvin Sweety and Tania Ahmed were sitting in a car outside. They were earnestly listening to Arif Khan, who was full of instructions. The scene had to be done twice, after spurring into action.
After wrapping up the take, the two retreated into the house where Mou was waiting in the makeup room. Conversation flowed among the friends, before being shortly joined by the director to give instructions for the next scene. This part was to be shot from within the car again, and the three made their way out to the vehicle. Joining them was an unmanned camera, to allow space and mobility.
Over the course of an hour, the car made its way down the streets of Uttara. Tanvin Sweety delivered her lines and the rest of the unit observed the take from outside, on the road. On their return to the shooting house, the director informed them that it was now time for a photo-shoot. A scenic location was chosen, and the three artistes were full of mirth and banter before and in between poses. Later, the trio dragged Arif Khan down to join them during the photography session.
Before retreating into the make-up room, the artistes shared their thoughts on the new venture. “The narrative is wonderful, but for the first time, the three of us are sharing the screen space, and that makes it all the more special,” said Tanvin Sweety.
“The three of us lead singular careers, but we are very close outside the limelight. This venture hardly feels like a job because all of us get to hang out,” added Sadia Islam Mou.
Regarding the plot, director Arif Khan stated, “The story revolves around three married women, who suddenly decide to take off one day without informing anyone.”
