Nabila-Apurbo and on-screen marital bliss

Masuma Rahman Nabila kept a relatively low profile following the smashing success of “Aynabaji”, maintaining that she wishes to be careful about her next venture. It seems that she has finally found the right project, and is now set to appear in a single-episode play titled “Shongshar”. Written and directed by Mizanur Rahman Ariyan, popular small screen actor Apurbo is slated to play the male lead.

“The play tries to explore the subtle romance of married life,” stated the director. He also added that Apurbo and Nabila will portray the characters Tanvir and Ira, respectively.

Apurbo, who last teamed up with the director in the hit tele-film “Boro Chhele” last year, promises another relatable story for the audience. “The narrative explores the foundation for all families, which is marriage. I have no further words for Ariyan's superb direction, and have high hopes for this venture,” he said.

Actor Nabila is enthused about her first project of this year, stating that the play does more than explore the lives of an ordinary couple. “I believe that the story also sets a good example on how people can lead simple, but happy lives,” she expressed.

“Shongshar” is produced by CV Choice owner Jahirul Islam Sohel. Filming for the play is expected to complete today, and will be aired on Valentine's Day.
