Acclaimed filmmaker Tanvir Mokammel will helm his upcoming film based on legendary Bangladeshi poet Jasimuddin’s popular poetry book ‘Sujon Badiyar Ghat.’ The film, also titled ‘Sujon Badiyar Ghat,’ is currently being written by Mokammel, according to recent media reports.
Tanvir Mokammel and his team are currently doing casting and pre-production work for the film. Rakibul Hasan will be behind the camera while Uttam Guha will be the chief assistant director and art director of the project. After filming, ‘Sujon Badiyar Ghat’ will be edited by Mahadev Shee, the background score will be composed by Syed Sabab Ali Arju and Chitralekha Guha will lead the casting and costume department.
The movie will be produced under the banner of Kino-i Films and co-produced by Hasna Jasimuddin Maudood.
Ekushey Padak and ten time Bangladesh National Film Award-winning filmmaker Mokammel’s last feature film ‘Rupsha Nodir Banke’ which started production back in 2020, is set to hit the theatres soon.
The story of ‘Sujon Badiyar Ghat’ revolves around Duli, a Hindu girl, the daughter of Gadai from the Namu tribe. The girl has a unique and beautiful face. Duli is spontaneous. She picks fruits and wildflowers, breaks fruit pulses and spends her day with the village patrol. Occasionally she would pretend-play with her dolls and arranges ‘doll weddings’, inviting teenage girls to join her game. Her best partner in these things is a Muslim boy named Sujon. He is the son of Samir Shaikh. Sujon is the complete opposite version of Duli. The whole day, he wanders in the forest looking for birds’ nests. The poetry describes the relationship between Duli and Sujon.
The poetry book got received international acclaim and has been conserved by United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and has been honoured as one of the best literary work of the Asian series and for Asian culture back in 1993.
