‘Birotto’ to release on Sept 16

Mamnun Hasan Emon and Nipun Akter starrer film ‘Birotto’ will be releasing on September 16. With this film, director Saidul Islam Rana will be debuting on the silver screen of Bangladeshi entertainment industry.

The release date was announced at a press conference at Zahir Raihan Color Lab of Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC) on September 13. The film will show popular Bangladeshi actor Emon as doctor Raju.

“I’ve played a lot of characters in my career but never played a role, to which I had such a deep attachment. I have had a different feeling about this project from the beginning of the shooting till now. I feel lucky to have a chance to play such a role,” said Emon.

“I dreamt of becoming a doctor when I was a child. But that dream never came true and I became an actor. Though I didn’t pass MBBS, the director gave me chance to play a role of a doctor. During the Pandemic, doctors risked their lives to assure proper treatment. For this, I salute all the doctors of the world. There have been many movies about RAB and police in Bangladesh but the life of a doctor is not depicted in any movie like that. I represented the doctors in our film ‘Birotto’,” he added.

“I will be seen in the role of a sex worker in the film who dreams to live a normal life despite losing everything in life. I believe my character will help many helpless oppressed girls to return to normal life. It will give them hope, they will want to live anew,” said Nipun.

Saidul Islam Rana, director of the movie, said, “I have always had respect for the medical profession. I tried to portray the heroism of doctors in this movie. I think people can feel it when they will watch the movie.

As the film is based on doctors, the makers of the film took a different strategy to promote the film. Along with hall promotions, the makers also went to various medical colleges to promote the film.
