She will be seen in Fakhrul Arefin Khan’s movie ‘Neel Jochna’
Entertainment Desk:
The “Bhuban Majhi”-famed director Fakhrul Arefin Khan has started working on his fourth film “Neel Jochna”. The government funded movie is based on Mushtaq Ahmed’s parapsychology novel “Neel Jochnar Jibon”.
Popular actor and producer Meher Afroz Shaon is returning to acting with this movie after a 13-year hiatus. Shaon, who was last seen in the Humayun Ahmed’s play “Sornao Kolosh” in 2011, will play the role of barrister Jaya Haque in “Neel Jochna”.
About her returning to acting, Shaon said, “I’m working on Arefin’s movie because I like the story and my character of the project. Now I can tell the rest after starting the shooting. Hope it will be a good job.”
About Shaon’s involvement in the movie, director Fakrul Arefin Khan said, “Since I wrote the script of this movie, it seemed that Meher Afroz Shaon was suitable for the role of Jaya Haque. I contacted her from that place and she agreed to act in the movie after seeing the script.”
“I started working on the movie ‘Neel Jochna’ about six years ago. At the end of 2018. I think there has been no work on parapsychology in Bangladesh before. And when I read Mushtaq Ahmed’s novel, I immediately thought of making a movie. Then in 2019 the work was stopped due to corona pandemic and my movie ‘JK 1971’. After that, I started working again from the beginning of last year”, said the director about the movie.”
