Prachy: Elegance
personified
Shilpi Mahalanabish of The Daily Star (TDS) spoke to talented film
actress Rokeya Prachy (RP) recently. The conversation turned to a bit
of exciting news--which her fans will love to hear.
TDS:
You have been working in a feature film for a while now. Would you
amplify on this?
RP:
I have been working with director Tarek Masud in his film
Antarjatra. The shooting is done. However, a bit of the editing is
left. Sara Zaker plays a major role in the movie.
TDS:
What else are you involved in at the moment?
RP:
I am currently working in a feature film with Mirza Hassan titled Teen
Kanyar Galpo. I am also working in several package dramas.
TDS:
Would you tell us about the recent offer you have received from a
South Indian filmmaker?
RP:
The film is on the 1947-Partition, directed by Ariatan Shawkat of
South India. Things are still at an initial stage; even the name
hasn't yet been decided. I am happy to have received an offer from a
foreign film. I am the only performer from Bangladesh. The film will
later be dubbed in different languages.
TDS:
You are now working with Nagorik, after shifting from yet another
theatre group. Doesn't the constant change of theatre groups create a
harmful environment for the artiste?
RP:
I don't think so. Initially I used to work with Aranyak, then I became
involved with Prachyanat. Now I am the working with Nagorik. An
artiste should have the freedom to decide.
TDS:
Anything special you want to share with your fans?
RP:
By the grace of the Almighty, I am tying the knot tomorrow with Asif
Nazrul--a Dhaka University teacher of Law. This is a settled marriage.
I request my fans to pray for us.
