Rahman passes away

Born in February 27, 1937, Rahman made his debut in the role of a villain in the film Ei Desh Tomar Amar directed by Ehtesham. His performance in films such as Talash, Chanda Darshan and others made him one of the most popular actors in the then East and West Pakistan. In fact, he was the only Bangalee actor-director who reigned in the erstwhile West Pakistani film industry.

Rahman-Shabnam were a popular duo at that time. Just after the Liberation he continued his film career in Pakistan. Chahat, Doraha, Lagan are the films he made in Pakistan. Later he returned to Dhaka and renewed his acting career.

Milon is his first film after Liberation. Following an accident, he made only a few appearances on the silver screen. He made his last appearance in the film Aamar Shongshar by Ashok Ghosh. He was the recipient of the prestigious Nigar Award in Pakistan.
