We caught up with Khairul Basar to know more about his upcoming Eid releases, his silver screen debut, and more.
The actor recently finished shooting for Vicky Zahed's "Ghun" where he will share the screen with Mehazabien Chowdhury. "I am also done shooting for Pothik Shadhan's "Antodohon", where I play the character of a carefree individual and his artistic pursuits," mentions Basar.
He is set to pair up with some of the most cherished and loved actresses in the industry this season. He will be seen opposite Tanjin Tisha in the Preety Dutta directorial single episode "Priyo Shuvra", and Sabila Nur in Tarek Rahman's "Confusion".
"I wanted to experience working with different co-stars as I feel I am comparatively new and have a lot left to explore," says Basar, who will also be seen with Rafiath Rashid Mithila in Preety Dutta's "Senior". "This season, I was able to work with names that I have always wanted to and I must say, they are not just mesmerizing on the screen but also exceptional colleagues to work with."
Following the success of productions like "Jotno", the audience will also be able to re-explore the chemistry between Basar and Safa Kabir in Mizanur Rahman Aryan's "Ora Tin Jon" and Tarek Rahman's "Station". "Ora Tin Jon" also casts Tasnuva Tisha.
He is also hopeful about "Hello Inspector", a tele-fiction directed by Jamal Mallick where he will re-appear with his "Networker Baire" co-star Nazia Haque Orsha and "Ostad Baaye Plastic" which features Sanjida Preeti opposite him.
"Orsha's brilliant screen presence, Tasnuva's resilience, Preeti's naturalistic performance, Mithila's cordiality, Safa's friendliness, and Sabila's mischief – that's what this experience left behind for me," shares Basar.
Alongside prominent faces, Basar is looking to revive his on-screen chemistry with Rothshi Siddika, whom he last appeared with in "Teerondaj" in "Porshi Jodi Amay Chuto".
Alongside television, Basar is living his wish to work with celebrated director Giasuddin Selim in "Kajol Rekha". "I have always wanted to be a part of stories that are larger than life and hailing from Mymensingh, I am glad that I got to be a part of the cinematic projection of its famous folklore," he shared excitedly.
"However, I am not fully prepared for the silver screen," asserts Basar. "With the audience being driven away from theatres and halls closing down, I feel we ought to look out for the transition that is currently evident in our audience, when it comes to their preferences.
Basar intends to invest his attention towards web projects in the upcoming days alongside planning for Eid al-Adha productions. "Time and budget – there are two luxurious resources that tele-production soften fail to secure. This not only hampers the presentation, but also interferes with the director's artistic preferences. Thus, the script fails to live up to its potential."
Nevertheless, Basar intends to keep performing with every ounce of passion that he possesses. "Acting is my profession and at the end of the day, we all look to give labour where there is a return. However, I will never compromise on my character choices and performances just to ensure my daily bread," he concludes.
