Alamgir-Champa teaming up for “Ekti Cinema'r Golpo”

Last May, it was revealed that the nine-time winner of the National Film Award Alamgir is making a return to the big screen this September, after twenty years. The film, titled “Ekti Cinema'r Golpo” is scripted and helmed by the actor, who is also playing the male lead. However, it had been left a mystery as to who will join the actor on his comeback. 

In 1986, Alamgir directed and starred in one of his most significant ventures that cemented his name and reputation in the film industry, in a film titled “Nishpaap”.  He was joined by Champa, whose role marked her debut and earned her widespread attention. Champa joined the actor-director in later projects, but never again as co-star. This is all changing with Alamgir's latest venture, where the duo will be seen together on screen after 30 years.

Described as a serious artiste by Alamgir, Champa is eyeing her new role with professional grit and careful preparation. “She is meticulous and leaves no stone unturned. As soon as we went into production, she launched herself in to perfecting the portrayal of her character,” added the director.

For Champa, this film is also a return to the screen with her first male lead. “When I first started, I had very little idea about the world of film, but even then I felt what an extraordinary director and actor Alamgir has been. This film is certainly a trip down the memory lane, but I will try to do better justice by bringing my years of experience to use,” she said.

“Ekti Cinema'r Golpo” will be released under the banner of Alamgir's own production house, Icon Entertainment.

Apart from his film commitment, this Eid, Alamgir will share the screen space with Faruk and Champa in a talk show programme titled “Bondhu Amar” on SATV.
