Two of Bangladesh’s most celebrated actors, Abul Hayat and Dilara Zaman, are set to share the screen in “Bela o Bikel”, a new drama that promises to be as heartfelt as it is rare in today’s industry.
Veteran actor, playwright, and director Abul Hayat has significantly reduced his screen appearances in recent times. However, he remains open to acting if the story and character appeal to him. “I no longer have the energy to work continuously like before. With age, the body demands rest. But I can’t stay away from acting altogether. So, if there’s a good story and a character I like, I’ll definitely consider it,” he shared.
Abul Hayat plays the father—a role that showcases his signature subtlety and depth—while Richi Solaiman portrays the daughter, bringing tenderness and nuance to the performance. The video also includes actor Humayun Chowdhury in a supporting role.
He recalled that childhood moment as a memorable experience and viewed acting and its associated culture as a cornerstone of his personal growth and a source of inspiration for his journey ahead.
As the Bengali New Year arrives, four prominent cultural figures—Abul Hayat, Tariq Anam Khan, Fazlur Rahman Babu, and Fahmida Nabi— have shared their cherished memories of the cherished Bangladeshi festival with The Daily Star.
Pori Moni has been away from the silver screen for a while, making headlines for reasons beyond cinema. This time, her latest film “Kagojer Bou” premiered on the Bongo app yesterday (February 13). This release marks her long-awaited return, directly on an OTT platform instead of theatres.
Local cinemas have been awaiting welcoming new releases, from the beginning of the new year. Continuing this momentum, two government-funded films are hitting theatres nationwide today.
Alongside acting, Abul Hayat has been a renowned author for many years. His latest book, "Robi Poth", was published this year and is available at the Amar Ekushey Book Fair. "It took me a long time to complete this book. It will make me happy if readers enjoy it. They can get their copies from the book fair."
Christmas, the most significant religious celebration for Christians, is being observed today. To mark the occasion, various television channels across the country have scheduled special programmes.
