I Soaeb I Saga of an actor

Mainul Hassan
“I strive to be at my best when I am feting. To me every act should be ’ better than the previous one,” says Mohammad Soaebul Islam, speaking to The Daily Star recently.
A talented artiste, Soaeb began his acting career with Tareque Masud's critically acclaimed, award winning film, “Matir Moina” in 2000. In the film he slipped with ease into the role of Milan, one of the central characters. “I consider "Matir
I Moina” a major leap in my career. To me, Milan represents a socially aware youth and the role gave me much needed exposure," says Soaeb.
Going back to his early days, Soaeb says that in 1997 he joined the Theatre Centre, a troupe run by Shahidul Alam Sachchu. At the time he was in his second year as a post graduate student.
“I always had this intrigue about theatre since childhood. At university, one of my classmates was a member of Theatre Centre. I went to watch their sessions. After several visits, I had a gut feeling that this was something which I had to do and I joined the troupe. I never had a second thought," he
says.
After "Matir Moina,” Soaeb took a hiatus (2000-2006) from the screen. At that time he did some ads.
From 2007 onwards, he began working fulltime: First with "High Tension," a 13-episode drama serial
directed by Taher Shipon. Aired on Channel i, the short serial was an immediate hit. The play was a major watershed for Soaeb, his first break in the genre.
After “High Tension," Soaeb
began working with Aruna Biswas. The serial, "Boro Didi,” was directed by Aruna Biswas and aired on ATN Bangla.
"Working with Aruna Biswas was a critical point in my acting career.
Through her, I learnt the necessary elementsofTVacting,"said Soaeb.
To date Soaeb has worked in many TV plays and serials under the direction of Aruna Biswas, including "Malyodaan,” “Drishti Daan” and "Nupur.”
Among other noteworthy serials in which Soaeb has acted are "Dainik Tolpaar" directed by Asrafi Mithu and aired on Channel i; “Priodarshini” directed by Arun Chowdhury, aired on Rtv; "Apon Ghorey Porobash” on Rtv and "Neer" onntv.
Others works of Soaeb include "Shada Megh Kalo Megh,” directed by Taher Shipon; "Amongol", directed by Hassan Sikhdar; single episode TV play "Othocho Bhalobasha” directed by Mithu Bishwas and "Holud Pora" directed byAlamShikdar.
Talking about the importance of acting on stage and TV, Soaeb says, "For a professional actor, TV is certainly an important medium. However, to learn the ropes of acting, theatre is a must." Soaeb has been an active member of theatre troupe Desh Natok since 2001.
The actor now looks forward to a career in films, along with TV plays. He recently finished shooting for "Dui Purush,” a film directed by Chashi Nazrul Islam. His next work will be "Ashombhob,” a film jointly directed by Aruna Biswas and Mithu Biswas. Shooting for the movie is scheduled to begin in April.
