Swapnojal in making

Giasuddin Selim talks about his new film

Director Giasuddin Selim took the film industry by storm when critics and the box office alike applauded his film "Monpura”. Now, six years after the release of “Monpura”, Giasuddin Selim has finalised his new film “Swapnojal”.

The film is currently in the pre-production stage and shooting is likely to begin last week of December. Selim has already finalised the cast; however he is yet to rope in the lead female actress.

Fazlur Rahman Babu, Iresh Zaker, Shilpi Sarkar Opu, Wahida Mallick Jolly and Prosun Azad will play key roles in the film. Debutant Yash Rohan will play the male lead.

About the film Giasuddin Selim said, “Yash Rohan is the son of Shilpi Sarkar Opu and Naresh Bhuiyan. I have been thinking of casting him in my film for the last couple of years. I have groomed him and also given him initial training.”

“The film will be mainly shot in Chandpur and Kolkata as the story demands these locations. 'Swapnojal' will encircle a family which was forced to leave Chandpur and settle in Kolkata,” Giasuddin Selim added.

Selim also informed that “Swapnojal” is a love story set in the '90s. However, there will be social messages too.

“Our audiences love stories and I will try to present them a good story,” he added.

Arnob will direct music for the film, while singers Luva Nahid Chowdhury, Laisa Ahmed Lisa, Krishnakali and Sani will voice the songs.

The film will be made under Bangladesh-India joint production. Bengal Creations will produce the film from Bangladesh.
