Jaya Ahsan’s skills and movies have garnered critical acclaim and popularity and made her a renowned actress in both Bangladeshi and Indian Bengali cinema. She holds a record for receiving the National Film Award five times in Bangladesh and the Filmfare Award three times in India. Additionally, she has ventured into Bollywood. She also gained international attention for her role in an Iranian movie, marking her debut in the international arena.

A high court bench of Justice Naima Haider and Justice Kazi Zeenat Haque passed the order on Sunday following a preliminary hearing of a writ seeking to stop the adoption of wild elephants in an effort to protect them from brutal exploitation.

The mention given to the actors of the film “Fereshteh” was that through art, showing generosity is the most beautiful image of life, sometimes carrying people deep into the ocean of their nature, so they can achieve freedom in their existence.

In case you don't recall, the actor turned producer Jaya Ahsan was awarded a government grant of Tk 60 lakh for her film project titled “Roid” during the 2020-21 fiscal year — set to be directed by Mejbaur Rahman Sumon, renowned for the movie “Hawa”. However, three years later, both the director and producer announced that the film would proceed without government funding, under a new arrangement. Jaya Ahsan has already returned the initial instalment of the grant.

According to the announcement from PAW Foundation, the organisation has been advocating for several years through various initiatives to halt the training of elephants through inhumane methods, refrain from using them in entertainment, and cease circus performances, including magic shows. Animal rights activists have also encircled the Forest Department building twice in their efforts.

The film, which was released on February 9 in the country, will be screened at Bankstown’s Hoyts Cinemas on February 16 and at Campbelltown’s Dumaresq Street Cinema on February 18, confirmed its production company, Alpha-i Studios.

With her film “Peyarar Subash” being released in the halls of Bangladesh, marking her much-awaited comeback on the silver screen in the country, the versatile artiste, Jaya Ahsan shared her thoughts, plans, and aspirations as an actor with The Daily Star.

Today marks the release of fresh Bengali films following a hiatus of one week. This week's lineup features two movies: "Peyarar Subash" by director Nurul Alam Atique and “Trap” by Deen Islam.

The prolific actor gained widespread recognition with his performance in the television series “Pret”, written by Muhammad Zafar Iqbal.

He also received acclaim for his performance in the film “Guerilla”, directed by Nasir Uddin Yousuff, where he portrayed the character of martyred Freedom Fighter Altaf Mahmud.

Jaya Ahsan reached the venue just an hour prior to the premiere of the show and then came the shocking news of Ahmed Rubel’s passing. The actor succumbed to death after suffering a massive attack just as he was about to enter Star Cineplex.

Jaya Ahsan, equally beloved on both sides of the border, is going to grace the silver screens in two countries on the same day. On February 9, her new movie “Bhootpori” will be released in West Bengal, while on the same day Nurul Alam Atique's directorial film, “Peyarar Subash” will be released in Bangladesh.
