‘He’s always exceptional’: Runa Khan on Mosharraf Karim's ‘Bohemian Ghora’ role

National Award-winning actress Runa Khan, known for her powerful performance in "Haldaa", has recently wrapped up filming for a new web-series titled "Bohemian Ghora" opposite acclaimed actor Mosharraf Karim. Directed by Amitabh Reza, the series features Mosharraf Karim opposite eight different female leads, including Runa.

In a conversation with The Daily Star, Runa Khan expressed her excitement about returning to work under Amitabh Reza's direction. "He directed the Grameenphone ad that was a major turning point in my career. Working with him is always comfortable and creatively fulfilling," she said.

Cinematographer Khosru also returned behind the lens for this project. "It was lovely collaborating with Khosru bhai again after a long time," Runa added.

When asked about working with Mosharraf Karim, Runa was full of admiration. "He's always exceptional. Everyone knows his caliber as an actor. Having him as a co-actor elevates any production. He's incredibly collaborative and supportive during shoots," she said, noting that Mosharraf Karim even called her recently to praise her performance during the dubbing of "Bohemian Ghora".

"Mosharraf bhai called and told me he had seen my scenes while dubbing and thought I did a fantastic job. That means a lot coming from someone like him," she said happily.

The actress recalled first working with Mosharraf Karim in 2007 and has since appeared alongside him in numerous dramas, telefilms, web-series, and even international shoots.

In "Bohemian Ghora", Runa plays a confident, independent woman – a role she says gave her the space to truly perform.
