In October last year, the government allowed cinema halls to open on the condition that they would maintain health safety rules. Several movies were released after that. No movies of Shakib however were on that list. This year, several movies of Shakib are now ready for release, including the much anticipated Bikkhobh. The actor has also signed up for several other films. But the shooting has not started for any of those films due to Covid-19. However, last month, great news came for Shakib’s fans, as it was reported that he had started shooting for a new movie titled Antoratma targeting the upcoming Eid. The director and producer of Antoratma are Wajed Ali Sumon and Sohani Hossain. Sohani also produced Shakib’s Swotta several years back. The original stories of Swotta and Antoratma were also written by her. In Antoratma, another actress from Tollywood, Darshana Banik, worked with Shakib. Recently, Darshana acted in a Bollywood movie with Imran Hashmi which is awaiting release. Besides, Darshana has also appeared in the Byomkesh-7 series of OTT platform Hoi Choi. Director Wajed Ali Sumon has already finished shooting Antoratma. The shooting took place in a resort in Pabna. It took a month to complete the whole shooting. The director said that the shooting was done in compliance with the health rules. However, Shakib was injured during the shooting. He got an eye injury while performing a dance scene with the heroine. It was not too serious. He has already returned
to Dhaka. He is now preparing to act in a new film.
The shooting will start once the lockdown is over.
Director Wajed Ali Sumon said they planned to release Antoratma during Eid. Although the shooting is complete, it will not be possible to release it. He also said, “We finished shooting just before the latest lockdown. Now post-production work for the film is going on in India.”
