Popular actress Jaya Ahsan and newbie actress Reekita Nandini Shimu, who has drawn the attention of the audience for her brilliant performance in the film ‘Shimu’, for the first time working together in a film ‘Fereste’, directed by Iranian film-maker Murtaza Otash Jamjam.
The shooting has started on March 4 at various locations in the capital including Dhaka New Market, Jamuna Future Park and the Solmaid area of Bashundhara. The Iranian team will shoot for about 20 days in Dhaka. Most of that will be day-shoots.
On Monday, the Iranian team started shooting with Jaya Ahsan and Shimu at Dreamland Dhaka Resort and Restaurant located next to the Kuwaiti Mosque of Solmaid in Bashundhara.
Both of the actresses were seen riding a rickshaw and dressed as slum dwellers. A three-year-old child was in Jaya’s lap.
When contacted Jaya to know about this, she did not receive the phone. On the other hand, Shimu did not say anything about the film because of its privacy issue.
Shimu said, “I can’t talk about it; because we don’t have permission.”
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued a notice granting permission to five people, including Iranian director Murtaza Otash Jamjam, to shoot in Dhaka on March 13.
The team took permission from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for the shooting of the film named ‘CNG’. Iranian director Murtaza Otash Jamjam is famous for directing Ananta Jalil’s film, ‘Din-the Day’.
The ministry allowed Murtaza Otash Jamjam to shoot under some conditions.
The conditions are: Shooting should be done only in the places mentioned in the application not anywhere else; anything that can harm the independence, sovereignty and religious sentiments of Bangladesh or the friendly relations between Bangladesh and Iran is now allowed to do; if any Bangladeshi crew participates in the shooting, their remuneration must be paid; the producer of the film will collect a visa accordingly from Bangladesh Embassy in Iran; if the film releases in Bangladesh then it must be released according to the rules of cinema in Bangladesh.
