Aynabaji releasing in three continents

Earlier this month at a special Facebook Live 'Ask Me Anything' session at The Daily Star, actor Chanchal Chowdhury was flooded with questions by fans from abroad, about when and how they would be able to see his film “Aynabaji”. In a candid discussion regarding the piracy of the film, the actor urged everyone, especially expatriates, not to watch a pirated copy of the film. “Forget for now that something called 'Aynabaji' exists. We are trying to release the films in other countries, and when it comes to a cinema near you, you can all go and enjoy it.” And now, it looks like many expatriate Bangladeshis' wish of watching the film is about to come true.

After massive commercial success and some critical acclaim in the country, Amitabh Reza's directorial debut “Aynabaji” is now set for release in other corners of the world. The psychological crime thriller centering Chanchal's Sharafat Karim Ayna will be released November 17 at Publicis Cinemas in Paris, France on November 17, and hold 14 shows the film in seven days. Director Amitabh Reza, writer Gousul Alam Shaon and producer Ziauddin Adil will attend the opening screening.

The film will then release in the US and Canada on November 19, simultaneously in the cities of New York, San Francisco, Austin, Chicago and Dallas (USA) and Toronto and Calgary (Canada). The next weekend, November 26, will see the film release in theatres of Australia – at Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.

Producer Ziauddin Adil said “Even after seven weeks of its release, 'Aynabaji' is still going strong in cinemas across Bangladesh. After achieving tremendous success locally, the appeal of the film is now going to spread worldwide. I hope that 'Aynabaji' will achieves success all over the world and make us proud.”
