Emon and Shokh join forces

TV screenwriter Faruq Hossain was lost at sea a couple of months ago while on vacation, and was never heard from again. While chances of his return remain bleak, a tele-film he wrote two years ago is being made, with Emon and Shokh pairing up on screen for the first time for it. Director Himel Ashraf took the script for “Na Bhulbona Tomaye” long ago, but never got around making it, until now. Shooting for the tele-film began on Monday at two shooting spots in Uttara.

Shokh and Emon had shared screen space together before for a popular TVC for a telecom company. This is also Emon's first work with Himel Ashraf. Shokh said she has always been a fan of Faruq Hossain's plays, and she felt emotional working on this script.

The tele-film will air on Channel i on October 16, the director informed.
