The Liberation War movie ‘Ekattorer Ma Janoni’ has been selected for the US Film Festival. Currently the film is being colour corrected and sound mixed abroad. The film, which is supported by government grants, will hit theatres on December 19.As its title suggests, the movie is about the glorious Liberation War of Bangladesh. The script is influenced by the novel “Jononi Shahoshini 1971,” written by Anisul Haque.The film, directed by Shah Alam Kiron, features popular actors of the silver screen: Nipun akter, Agun, Shakil Ahmed, MM Morshed and Chitrolekha Guho along with Nipun. Uttom gave the art direction and a theatre troupe also worked in the making of the film.Nipun told, It depends on the circumstances. The film is scheduled for release on December 19 and I feel that I should be home when it comes out. But I still have the invitation and if the situation allows, then I will attend the festival.
Nipun said, I think my character in the film is undeniably challenging compared with my earlier work. I play women of two different ages in the film, a 6o year-old and a 24-year-old. Besides, portraying a character in the environment of 1971 was not stress-free.
