Fakhrul Arefin Khan will produce the government funded movie ‘Neel Jochna’. West Bengal’s popular actress Pauly Dam will act in this movie based on Mushtaq Ahmed’s parapsychology novel ‘Neel Jochnaar Jiban’. She will play the role of Laila, the main female character of the movie.
Producer Fakhrul Arefin Khan signed an official contract with Pauli at Decalogue Management Center in Kolkata last Wednesday. The actress herself expressed her excitement about working in Dhakai cinema again.
Who will be opposite Pauly in the movie is yet to be finalised. However, the producer said that he will select an actor from the country opposite Pauli. He will finalize it very soon.
Regarding acting in Bangladeshi films again, Pauli told the media, ‘Filmmaker Fakhrul Arefin Khan contacted me about this film last year. First I heard the story from him, as I had not read that book by Mushtaq Ahmed, then when I read the book, it was great. It can be said that I have been associated with this movie since that day. The ceremony was held last Wednesday.’
Producer Fakhrul Arefin Khan said, I started working on the movie ‘Neel Jochna’ about 6 years ago. At the end of 2018. I think there has been no work on parapsychology in Bangladesh before. And that’s why when I read Mushtaq Ahmed’s novel, I immediately thought of making a movie. Then in 2019 the work was stopped due to Corona and my movie ‘JK 1971’. After that, I started the work again from the beginning of last year.
Talking about Paoli Dam in the new movie, the director said, ‘Laila is one of the female characters in our story, which goes a lot with Paoli Dam, which is why we chose her for this role in the first place. Then Pauli was contacted, he was sent the script and he also agreed to act in our movie. Hopefully, we can finish the job very well with Pauly.’
The producer said, the shooting of the movie ‘Neel Jochna’ will start at the end of next month and will continue till the last week of July.
