Chanchal returns to the grind of TV series

Chanchal Chowdhury had been 'in hiding' for about a month, preparing and filming for his upcoming film “Debi” where he plays Misir Ali, one of the most prominent fictional characters of contemporary Bangla literature. With filming of his parts complete, Chanchal has come back to the small screen. 

“Majnu Ekjon Pagol Nohe”, a new TV series scripted by Brindaban Das and directed by Sanjit Sarkar, is currently filming in Gazipur, where Chanchal plays the titular character.

The central cast also includes Fazlur Rahman Babu, Shahnaz Khushi, Pran Roy, Golam Farida Chhanda and more. “This is my first TV venture after shooting for 'Debi',” said Chanchal Chowdhury. “When it comes to any script by Brindaban Das, I know that there will be something new on the table, and a unique role to play.”

Shahnaz Khushi described the narrative saying, “The play offers many surprising twists and turns to the viewers. I can guarantee no one will be disappointed.”

Fazlur Rahman Babu will appear as one of the key characters in the series. He said, “The plot revolves around a household, and I play the oldest daughter's husband, a very complex character.”

Chhanda appears as the youngest daughter, and for her role she is required to glam up in new sarees and makeup in all her scenes. “I have a really fun role to play, and I am enjoying it a lot,” she told The Daily Star.

 “The plot of the series centers on inheritance and the division of wealth,” Scriptwriter Brindaban Das said about the play. “Greed subsequently drives a person to madness, and the story attempts to capture the complex realities around this issue.”
