Puja’s ‘Hridita’ to hit 21 theatres today

Bangladeshi film actress Puja Chery starrer ‘Hridita’ is all set for its nationwide theatrical release today. Primarily, the film will be released in 21 theatres across Bangladesh, according to a recent press statement.

The film, based on acclaimed Bangladeshi author Anisul Hoque’s popular novel of the same name, received the Bangladesh government’s film grant for the fiscal year 2019-2020. Puja will be sharing screen alongside ABM Sumon for the first time through this film.

The film’s trailer was released last month and met with criticism from netizens. Viewers pointed out a scene in the trailer where ABM Sumon was scene drawing a nude painting of Puja’s character.

Within a day the film’s makers dropped the controversial scenes and re-released another version of the trailer.

Puja also took to Facebook and clarified that the film is based on noted author Anisul Hoque’s novel and it is nothing but an art form and the scene does not represent her.

The film, directed by Ispahani Arif Jahan, will star Manas Banerjee, Saberi Alam, Arjuman Ara and many others alongside Puja and Sumon.

Moreover, Anisul Haque has written the dialogues for the film himself whereas the screenplay was written by the director.

‘Hridita’ will feature two songs voiced by popular singers Chandan Sinha and Shithi Saha.

The film’s lead actress Puja also became the talk of the nation as she was rumoured to be dating Shakib Khan and they will leave to the US together. Afterwards, Puja publicly announced that all of these rumours were slander and news broke that Shakib will not leave for the US soon as he will star in Raihan Rafi’s upcoming film.
