‘Padma Setu’, the first movie based on Bangladesh’s successful mega project Padma Bridge, directed by Ali Azad is expected to release in August this year. The movie is now in the Censor Board for its clearance certificate, said a press release.
The producer of the movie, Borua Monojit Dheemon said, “We submitted the film ‘Padma Setu’ to the Censor Board on July 6. Hopefully, we will get an uncut censor clearance and everyone will appreciate the film after watching it.”
Secretary of the Censor Board, Mominul Haque said, “Many of us are interested about the film ‘Padma Setu’. The movie has been submitted to the Censor Board. We will review the movie as per schedule. If all goes well, hopefully the movie will get a censor certificate by next week.”
Besides directing the movie, Ali Azad also wrote its story and screenplay for the film. He wrote, “We want to tell the story of our pride the nation have because of Padma Bridge. I’m expecting that the viewers will interpret the movie differently and watch it considering it as a film rather than mixing it up with real story. I hope the movie won’t disappoint viewers. I tried my best to give a good story to the viewers.”
The whole shooting took place in nearby areas of Padma Bridge and the story of the film also revolves around the bridge. The Padma Bridge is more than a bridge; it is a symbol of nation’s progress and pride. Above all, it’s also a symbol of our self-esteem and self-identity. The story of ‘Padmar Bukey Swopner Setu’ tells the story of that.
The movie casts Sanj John, Olivia Maisha, Raihan Mujib, Himel Raj, Khuku, Anwar Siraji, Shanta Paul, among others. Produced by Bagla Talkies, Jazz Multimedia will distribute the movie, said its director Ali Azad.
