Nabila back for more Aynabaji

Masuma Rahman Nabila first gained popularity as a TV presenter, but really broke out as a national star with her debut film “Aynabaji” that became an unprecedented hit. 

And now, the actor is ready to give fans of the film potentially another glimpse into the character of Hridi, in the TV spinoff of the film that is in the works. The “Aynabaji Original Series” was announced in April to be coming to television this Eid as a series of single-episode plays, and now Nabila has been cast in one of them, directed by none other than the original film's director, Amitabh Reza. 

Called “Shooting in March”, the play will be shot in Pabna and will star Apurbo as well.

“I am not too keen on doing drama fictions or serials. But I have two reasons for doing this one: this is from the 'Aynabaji Series', and it is being directed by Amitabh Reza. That's why I agreed,” says Nabila.

The actor, however, left a little mystery about what her character is. “Let that be a bit of a surprise,” she told The Daily Star. 

Meanwhile, Nabila will also host special Eid variety show for the first time. “Eid Anandamela” will also commence shooting soon, where popular actor Shajal will be his co-host.

Nabila said, “From an early age, I used to watch 'Anandamela', even when I was living abroad. So, it is a big deal for me to be able to anchor this year's 'Anandamela'. It's very exciting,” she said.

On the other hand, Nabila is currently also hosting a programme airing on ntv. She will also be seen as a guest in an Eid programme on Banglavision.

About Ramadan and iftar, Nabila revealed she has iftar at home on most days. While Nabila doesn't particularly fancy most items from the typical iftar menu, jilapi is something she insists on having.
