Sadika Parvin Popy, one of Dhallywood's most acclaimed actresses, is returning to cinema, this time as a producer and not an actress.

After disappearing from the industry following her 2020 film "Direct Action", Popy cited personal reasons for her long absence. In an interview with Prothom Alo, she revealed that filmmaking has always been her true passion and that production offers her deeper fulfillment than acting.

Popy is no newcomer to production – she previously produced films such as "Kidnap" and "Jibon Manei Juddho", even facing a Tk 2 million loss on a Monowar Khokon project due to a lack of team support. Undeterred, she plans to complete her unfinished acting projects, but confirmed her career focus is now solely on producing compelling Bangladeshi stories.
