In conversation with the cast of “Mukhosh Manush”

Nawsheen, Hillol and Kalyan are widely known as TV actors. The trio has acted in their first ever feature film “Mukhosh Manush”, which was released nationwide yesterday. The actors, who have been traveling extensively around the country to promote the film, took time out to visit The Daily Star for a lively conversation.

Tell us something about the film. 

Nawsheen: The film is about how people are victimised through cyber crime. I feel it's a film especially girls need to see, to learn a valuable lesson. 

Kalyan: “Mukhosh Manush” is very relevant to the age of technology we live in, and addresses cyber crime head on. I feel women are especially victimised through this, and I hope this film raises awareness to put a stop to this kind of crimes.

Hillol: Since the release of the trailer, people are already aware of what issues the film deals with. I can only say that this film will keep everyone on their toes.

Why do you feel the audience should go to theatres to watch “Mukhosh Manush?”

Nawsheen: There can be many reasons that motivate people to watch the film, but at the end everyone wants a good story, and this film delivers. 

Hillol: I feel the same way. Not only is it a strong narrative, it has a powerful message to deliver. 

Kalyan: It's a powerful story that has been executed with excellence. I feel the cast has done a very good job as well, and the audience will see so for themselves when they go the theatres.

Your thoughts on the film industry and the direction it is going?

Nawsheen: This year, many directors have done excellent work. Many, many people around the world have enjoyed “Aynabaji” immensely, and therefore moviegoers' expectations have also risen. The film industry is going through many positive changes now.

Hillol: 2017 will be a positive year for films. “Mukhosh Manush” has been released at the end of this year, which means the audience will be able to watch it at the beginning of 2017, and I look forward to the responses it will meet.

Kalyan: I believe that the film industry will witness big changes in the coming years. I am an actor, and that is how I earn my living, whether through cinema or television. Cinema will triumph, and I look forward to seeing these successes materialise.
