What is Moushumi Hamid up to now?

One of the busiest actors of her time, Moushumi Hamid is not afraid to demonstrate grit. She is often seen in the shoes of challenging, unglamorous characters, fitting seamlessly into the narrative. The actress is to portray yet another new role in a new play set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Independence War.

Titled “Natoker Juddho, Juddher Natok” and helmed by Sumon Anwar, the self explanatory narrative centres on the iconic March 7 speech delivered by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Out of the thousands roused by the speech is a small town theatre troupe, who decide to stage a play using the event as their central theme. But their aspirations are tested when war breaks out, and their lives become endangered.

“Viewers will see me in a completely different guise. I am doing my best to do the role the justice it deserves,” stated Moushumi.

The actress is also involved in a few drama serials currently on air in various TV channels. She plays a role in the BU Shuvo helmed “Life in a Metro,” “GaaNye Maaney Na Apne Morol” directed by Al Hazen, and “Time” directed by Aniruddho Rasel.

Moushumi Hamid teamed up with director Sumon Anwar again in a play titled “Shukhi Mirganj”. Again playing an unconventional role, Moushumi Hamid stated, “The play is about a village, and the lives led by its people.” The actress is also slated to begin shooting very soon for another new play by the director titled “Idiot”.

“I have worked with Sumon Anwar in a variety of plays, all of which allowed me to explore different facets of acting by portraying different characters. My work has been well received, and I have even played a bandit in one play,” she elaborated.

Moushumi's career also extends towards modeling and films, but acting credits in the latter number only a few. However, her performance in the award winning “Jalaler Golpo” garnered accolades at home and abroad. “I receive many film roles, but I will choose a venture when the script appeals to me,” she added.
