Meanwhile, who will be opposite Pauly in the film 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.
About acting in Bangladeshi films, this actress told the media, ‘Last year, director Fakhrul Arefin Khan contacted me about this film. 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’. Then I started the work again from the beginning of last year.
He said, ‘Layla is one of the female characters in our story, which goes a lot with Paoli Dam. That’s why we chose him first for this role. 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 shooting of the movie will begin at the end of next month, and will continue till the last week of July.
