Prominent writer Muhammad Zafar Iqbal has wrote a song for the government grant film ‘Adventure of Sundarban’, based on his novel ‘Ratuler Raat , Ratuler Din’ and directed by Abu Raihan Jewel.
The film features Dhallywood actors Siam Ahmed and Pori Moni in the lead roles.
The song titled ‘Aay Aay Shob Taratari’ has been sung by ten child artistes. The music of the song is composed and tuned by Emon Chakrabarty.
The director of the film, Jewel, confirmed the news to The Business Post.
He said, “There was a sequence in the film where the children will take a bath in the pond. I told Zafar Sir this sequence demands a song . So, I requested him to write a song for this scene. Though initially he didn’t agree as he never wrote any song. But, later, he gave me the lyrics.
“When I showed the lyrics to Emon Chakrabarty , he said that the lyrics is very good . Then he managed 10 child artistes to sing the song. Later, I sent the demo of this song to Zafar Iqbal sir and he liked it very much.”
“There will be total four songs in the film. As this is a children’s film, all the songs will be enjoyable. We will record the songs later,” he added.
According to the director, the shooting of the film was completed on September last year. The film will be sent for censor board clearance on March .
Regarding the shooting experience , Jewel said, “ We really had fun while shooting with the child artistes . At first I thought it will be challenging to shoot with so many kids and to control them. But they were really supportive and helpful. There were times when I instructed them to wake up at 7:00am in the morning for the shoot . They were never late.”
The film was shot at several spots in Dhaka, Mongla port, Sundarbans, and panoramic places on rivers across Chandpur and Barishal. Sumon Sarkar was the videographer while Samurai Maruf was the art director of the film.
The screenplay of the film, co-produced by Bongo BD, was written by Jakaria Showkhin.
Beside Siam and Pori Moni , Shahidul Alam Sachchu, Azad Abul Kalam, Munira Mithu, Kachi Khandaker, Ashish Khandaker and a group of children artistes played various roles.
The film is being made with government grant for the financial year 2018-19.
