Ferdous asks the public to stay home and stay safe
Four-time National Film Award winner Ferdous took up a new movie based on the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The Ekhlas Abedin directorial Hajar Bochhorer Sreshtho Bangali, features Ferdous as a theatre artiste. "While doing the film, I had to read about Bangabandhu extensively, and I got to learn a lot about him. It was inspiring for me," says the actor. "The younger generations will know Bangabandhu more closely after the film." The filming of Hajar Bochhorer Sreshtho Bangali took place in Tungipara, Dhaka and Mymensingh. Most sequences of the film have already been shot.
Ferdous will be seen in Maniker Laal Kakra, opposite popular actor Sohana Saba. It is directed by noted artiste Afzal Hossain. Although the shooting of this project did take off, it has been suspended for the time being, owing to concerns over the coronavirus.
Ferdous was supposed to travel Australia for shooting. However, the trip has been cancelled. "I had to cancel the trip, as there is nothing more important than health," says the artiste, "also, I had to cancel all my stage shows throughout the month."
He further noted that social gatherings are very risky at this moment. "I would like to humbly request all of my fans and well-wishers to stay home as much as possible. We have to keep raising awareness and keep ourselves clean. It is the only way to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe," he adds.
