“There is no secret to success”

MA Jalil Ananta, the biggest sensation of Bangla filmdom of recent years, yesterday engaged in a question-answer session with his fans on the social media. The actor-producer opened a Q&A on his Facebook page at 10:10am and answered questions from his fans for a couple of hours.

The actor was flooded with questions, suggestions, advice and requests of all kinds, and responded diligently. He spoke about his upcoming film “The Spy”, and about producing films with newcomers in the cast. Even when the remarks were rude, like “Please stop acting and just produce (films), he responded with “I work much harder to improve my acting skills.” A humble Ananta also attended humanitarian requests for funds for treatment of a Rajshahi University student to job-seeking ones for his company. He also weighed in on the country's shortage of movie theatres, asserting that there needs to be multiplexes in other cities as well for the film industry to flourish – and asking other industrialists to come forward.

When asked the secret behind his success in various fields, Ananta responded “There is no secret, just hard work and a little bit of luck.” He also shared how his perseverance has brought him success in the garments industry, and spoke about giving back to the society.
