A thief, a clerk, and more …

Busy times for Chanchal as Eid-ul Azha looms

With Eid-ul-Azha coming around soon, popular television and film actor Chanchal Chowdhury is busier than ever. With a long spell of filming, he has finished work for two Eid specials and more are in the offing.

In Pubail, he recently shot for an Eid drama called “Roshu Chor”, directed by Taifur Rahman Ashik and written by Brindaban Das. Chanchal plays the titular role in it. About the character, Chanchal said, “the story is that of a thief. Even though he is someone who steals, he also has his own stories of sorrow. I believe the viewers will see me in a brand new avatar in his play.”

Chanchal has also completed shooting for another Eid special which is yet to be titled. The filming took place in Uttara, and it has been directed by Taifur Rahman Ashik and written by Zakir Hossain Ujjal. Chanchal Chowdhury said, “This one is made on a serious note. It's about the life of a clerk, and captures how they make living from the small amount they earn.”

From August 5 onwards, Chanchal began shooting for yet another Eid drama, written by Brindaban Das and directed by Dipu Hazra. About his Eid work, Chanchal said, “Eid is knocking on the door, so work has begun with full force. But I am focusing more on good stories. Quality matters more to me than quantity.”
