The commissioner also revealed that Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, a prominent member of the Awami League's praesidium, made 17 calls to them, demanding Nipun's victory. The involvement of such a high-level political figure left the election officials stunned.

In an interview, Nipun criticised the decision, stating that the position of general secretary has been granted to someone without an education.

In anticipation of the upcoming election for the Bangladesh Film Artistes Association (BFAA) slated for April 27, the process of forming the interim panel has commenced. After much deliberation and search, BFAA General Secretary Nipun Akter has successfully secured Mahmud Koli, an icon from the golden era of cinema, as the president of the new panel.

National Award Winning actor and President of Bangladesh Film Artistes' Association, Ilias Kanchan has shunned the recently resigned joint general secretary and actor Symon Sadik’s claim of the organisation’s ineffectiveness in cessation of simultaneous releases of foreign with Bengali films in a recent remark.

The ceremony will begin with an opening dance sequence about Bangabandhu, being performed by Warda Rihab.

In a recent debacle regarding the release of “Pathaan” in Bangladesh, a lot of artistes and distributors, weighed in with their opinions. Multiple parties have agreed to the import of Hindi films, along with the General Secretary of the Bangladesh Film Artistes Association, Nipun Akhter.

Seeing the commercial success of “Pathaan” has yet again revived the argument around importing Indian films. Shah Rukh Khan's film might soon be on its way for release in Bangladesh. It will allegedly be brought through the SAFTA agreement, and the distribution company in question has already sent a letter to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting regarding the issue.

Nipun Akhter made headlines when she finally secured her victory as General Secretary of Bangladesh Film Artistes Association last year. The “Shajghor” actress has a lot of surprises in store as she is shooting for a thriller web-film “Opolap” and also bagged a nomination for Best Actress for her film “Birotto” at the ‘Meril Prothom Alo Awards 2022’. In a candid conversation with The Daily Star, Nipun divulges about her upcoming plans for association, movies and more.
