Today, the film “Amar Shesh Kotha”, directed by Mohammad Islam, was released in 19 theaters across the country. The lead roles are played by Joy Chowdhury and Kazi Zara, and the film is produced under the banner of Sochoton Film Media by Mohammad Islam.

The film is based on a real-life incident in Narayanganj. At the center of the story is a protagonist involved in human trafficking, ultimately ensnaring his own wife in a complex life-altering situation. Although production was completed in 2023, the film initially faced obstacles in obtaining screening approval due to Section 4B(1) of the Film Censorship Act-1963. After reshooting several scenes, the film finally received clearance for release.

No promotional activities featured the actors. Lead actor Joy Chowdhury stated that the lack of promotion was due to the producer’s unprofessional approach. Joy said, “Finishing the shoot doesn’t mean the work is complete. With proper post-production, a trailer and songs could have increased audience interest. But the producer didn’t want to spend on promotion or production.”

The film marks the Dhallywood debut of Kazi Zara. She expressed her excitement about her first movie release and has been promoting the film spontaneously on Facebook. She said, “The release of a first film is a huge milestone for any artist. I would have participated if the producer had asked.”

Mohammad Islam, speaking to Prothom Alo, denied the actors’ allegations and said, “I worked very hard to make this film. It is releasing in 19 theaters, including Jamuna Blockbusters Cineplex. If the lead actors had participated in promotion, it would have attracted more audience, but despite my efforts, I could not reach them.”

Other actors in the film include Kazi Hayat, Mahmudul Islam Mithu, Rebeca, Bobby, Subrata, Rina Khan, and others.
