After the success of projects like ‘Guti’ and ‘Unish 20’, popular OTT platform Chorki is going to release its latest crime-comedy ‘Overtrump’. Directed by Bashar Georgis, the web series will be released today.
The series casts Chanchal Chowdhury, Fs Nayeem, Ashna Habib Bhabna, and Samira Khan Mahi in pivotal roles.
The series will feature Chanchal in a very different avatar. Taking about it, Chanchal said, “Such incidents that will be showcased in the series, occur frequently in our society, especially in our urban life. As much as there is a dark side to this story, there are also some lessons. There will be a surprise in my character in this series, that’s all I want to say for now. Let the rest be a surprise for the audience.”
The series depicts Fatka Salim as he falls into dire straits after abducting a common businessman named Miraj. With time, everything gets confusing, and it gets hard to tell who wins and who loses as it turns into a game.
The series also marks Samira Khan Mahi’s OTT debut. For that, the actress is really excited. She will be seen playing the role of Roma. “This character is completely different from the roles I’ve played previously. I always want to give my best at everything. I was very worried about how to play the character of ‘Roma’. I tried my level best, and for the rest, I will leave it to the audience,” said Mahi.
“I was worried about selecting the team. I got very lucky when Khosru agreed to work with me immediately after I asked him. That’s how I found one of the best DOPs working with me for OTT for the first time. Ranjanda also agreed to design the production with me. Working with the actors in the series was extremely frustrating as they all were so serious that I even sometimes got nervous during directing,” said Bashar Georgis.
