Fazlur Rahman Babu to star in ‘Payrar Chithi’
The National Award-winning actor Fazlur Rahman Babu will be featured in the film, Payrar Chithi, directed by independent filmmaker Nishith Surjo. The film is based on a true event. Payrar Chithi is a government granted project, plotted around river Payra in Potuakhali.
Shirshendu Biswas, a then fourth grader at Patuakhali Government Jubilee High School, wrote a letter to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2016, requesting her to have a bridge built on the river in Patuakhali’s Mirzaganj Upazila.
The Prime Minister in her reply said that she was delighted to receive the letter from him. She praised the boy for his awareness regarding his family’s safety while crossing the river.
Fazlur Rahman Babu will be playing a negative role in this film. “At the moment, I am focusing on films only,” said the actor. He is set to shoot for three other movies titled, Jam, Nondini and Orjon 71. He has also worked in Biswa Shundori, a film directed by Chayanika Chowdhury, which will release on December 6.
The actor is set to receive the National Award for the second time this year, for the film Gohin Baluchor.
