Acclaimed Bangladeshi actress Runa Khan has officially joined the cast of Cholochittra: The Cinema, a film directed by Ali Zulfikar Zahedi. The project is set to delve into the lives of silver screen stars beyond the glamour and spotlight, offering audiences an intimate look at what happens off-screen.
Runa Khan revealed that her journey with the film began last winter when Zahedi first narrated the story to her. She explained that she felt an immediate connection with the screenplay and her character, which convinced her to take on the role after thoughtful consideration.
Speaking about her role, the actress said the film would shed light on the realities of an actress’ life that often remain hidden from the public eye. She noted that while actors are judged by their on-screen performances, their personal struggles and challenges are rarely acknowledged.
This project also marks the first time Runa Khan will appear as a film heroine. She stressed that real success will depend on whether audiences connect with both the story and her portrayal. With Cholochittra: The Cinema on the horizon, anticipation is high as fans await her transformation into a leading lady.
