Popular actress Nusraat Faria will emcee this year’s ‘National Film Award’. The event will take place on March 9 and this is the first time the actress is presenting the award show.
“Earlier, I performed dance at the National Film Award three times. I tried to give my best in those dance performances. However, this time it is a bit different, as I’ll be emceeing an event in front of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. I’m a bit nervous for that reason. Although I like presenting, I also think this is a challenging role to pull off. I am sincerely grateful to those who selected me to host this year’s National Film Awards. Now I am just waiting for that moment. I will try my best to host the event properly so that the audience enjoys it,” said Nusraat Faria.
The National Film Award is the highest honour in the film industry. A total of 45 films released in 2021 including 21 full-length films, 17 short films, and 7 documentaries were submitted for the National Film Awards. 34 awards in 27 categories were given this year as no candidate was recognised as eligible for the “Best Dance Director” category.
Nusraat Faria is now busy with a television commercial with director Mizanur Rahman Aryan. The commercial is going to be Nusraat Faria’s first television commercial. “I’m acting in a commercial for the first time under Aryan’s direction. Overall, he is putting his full effort to make it,” said the actress.
The actress was last seen in the film titled ‘Bhoy’ which was released on the OTT platform ZEE5 Bangla. That film casts Ankush Hazra opposite Faria. This film is a revenge thriller and it is about a swimming coach who falls prey to all kinds of politics. The film shows how he goes on to save his family and self-respect. The film portrays Ankush as a swimming coach with a weird fear. Nusrat plays the tutor of Ankush’s sibling who helps him to come out of his fear.
Meanwhile, Nusraat Faria’s much-anticipated comedy caper ‘Abar Bibaho Obhijan’ is set to hit the big screens on April 13 ahead of the Bengali New Year.
This time the cast will be the same as we saw in ‘Bibaho Obhijaan’ and that means Anirban Bhattacharya, Priyanka Sarkar, Ankush, Rudranil Ghosh, and Sohini Sarkar alongside Nusraat Faria will again start a laugh riot in the sequel. Besides, Sourav Das is the latest addition. The shoot has mostly been done in Thailand. Just like the previous film, Rudranil Ghosh has penned the story of the sequel.
