Entertainment Report :
Popular TV actress, model and Lux superstar Mehazabien Chowdhury recently refused a
proposal to work in a Bollywood film titled Khufiya directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. She rejected the offer due to the inappropriate representation
of Bangladesh in the script of the movie. Mehazabien said she was approached to join the Khufiya cast in July. But she humbly refused
the offer to the movie’s casting director.
While clarifying why she said ‘no’ to the Bollywood movie Mehazabien said, “The casting director of Bollywood’s talented filmmaker
Vishal Bharadwaj contacted me in July. They informed me that they were looking for an actress from Bangladesh for the movie. They also sent me the script of the movie. After reading the synopsis of the plot, I realised this is a political genre movie. The story highlights some of the political issues in Bangladesh in a way that I personally did not like. As a citizen of Bangladesh, I did not want to get involved in such a film which doesn’t represent the country in an appropriate manner. If I really have to work in a Bollywood movie, I would rather choose a story that will positively represent Bangladesh.”
It is mentioned that earlier, the Khufiya director also offered Bangladesh’s popular actress, model and Lux superstar Bidya Sinha Mim for acting in the same movie. But she also rejected the offer for same reason. Mim said that after hearing the story, it seemed that Bangladesh would be presented in a negative way. That is why she rejected the offer.
