Siam-Tushi pair up for Eid film ‘Abar Dekha Hole’

Director Shankha Dasgupta is set to bring a new film, “Abar Dekha Hole”, to cinemas during the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr, featuring popular actors Siam Ahmed and Nazifa Tushi in the lead roles.

The film marks the first on-screen pairing of Siam and Tushi, creating anticipation among the audience eager to see their chemistry on the big screen. 

The star-studded cast also includes National Film Award-winning actor Chanchal Chowdhury, alongside Deepa Khandakar, Azizul Hakim, Bijori Barkatullah and Rezwan Pervez. The film is being produced by Filmy Features.

“Abar Dekha Hole” is Shankha Dasgupta’s second theatrical venture. His previous big-screen project was “Priyo Maloti”, while his OTT film “Cha Gorom” received considerable appreciation from viewers.

Describing the upcoming film, Shankha said it belongs to the drama genre and is designed to be enjoyed by audiences of all ages.

“The story revolves around the middle class, exploring emotions, family values and relationships, alongside the conflicts and drama of everyday life. However, the audience should not expect an overly serious film. There is plenty of humour woven around its central emotions. The performances of the popular actors are also among the film’s biggest strengths,” the director said.

Explaining the film’s central theme, Shankha described it as a story about rediscovering oneself. “It is essentially about finding oneself again. There are so many layers to this journey that it is difficult to explain them individually. The story explores the emotions and situations people experience when they revisit their past, question their memories and try to understand the reasons behind their life choices. I believe audiences will be able to relate to the story in their own ways,” he added.

The screenplay has been written by Md Saifullah Riad.
