Vocalist Ishtiaque makes debut as actor

Sheikh Ishtiaque who is best known as the vocalist of Bangla rock band Shironamhin has made his debut as an actor with the short film ‘Harihar’. The short film was written and directed by Sadek Sabbir.

The short film was released on OTT platform Bioscope on July 16 and also aired on satellite channel Deepto TV.

The story of the short film revolves around two old friends who have not been in touch for a long time. One day they two met suddenly and go on a journey to travel different places. The short film is based on a story of friendship.

Director Sadek Sabbir said, “Since it was an OTT-based work, I wanted to have a different approach while selecting the artists. Animesh Aich suggested the name of Ishtiaque and we approached him and Ishtiaque agreed to do the project. Moreover, I felt that Ishtiaque’s look can be portrayed very nicely on screen and will match my story. Apart from that I already had an idea of his skills because we know each other for a very long.

Apart from Sheikh Ishtiaque the short film also casts Sabbir Ahmed and Saima Smriti in vital roles.

Produced by Shahriar Shakil, ‘Harihar’ was made under the banner of Alpha-i productions while Animesh Aich was the creative producer of the short film.
