Renowned actress Sushama Sarker, who has appeared in about ten movies and numerous dramas, is set to play a negative character for the first time in the upcoming film ‘Chhaya’. Based on Ferrari Farhad’s story and dialogues, the movie is being produced by Wajed Ali Sumon.

The story of ‘Chhaya’ is based on an urban setting. Sushama, who has always played positive characters in her previous movies, expressed her excitement about playing an antagonist in the film, saying, “I have already acted in several films and received a lot of response for those movies.

That is why I am trying to do the work very carefully.”
