(Web Desk) - Acclaimed Bangladeshi actress Runa Khan has officially joined the cast of Cholochittra: The Cinema, taking on the central role.
The project, directed by Ali Zulfikar Zahedi, will explore the lives of silver screen stars beyond the glamour of acting.
Sharing her excitement, Runa Khan revealed that discussions about the film began last winter when Zahedi first narrated the story.
She said she connected with the screenplay and character, which convinced her to sign on after careful consideration.
According to the actress, her role will shed light on the realities of an actress’ life away from the public eye.
Runa Khan expressed that actors are often only judged by their on-screen personas, while their personal struggles remain unseen.
She believes Cholochittra: The Cinema will highlight this overlooked reality and present audiences with a more human perspective.
This marks the first time Runa Khan will appear in the role of a film heroine.
She emphasised that true success will come if the audience connects with the story and her performance on screen.
With Cholochittra: The Cinema on the horizon, fans now eagerly await her transformation into a film heroine.
