Tete-a-Tete with Jotika Joti...

A Correspondent
Actress Jotika Joti is busy with shoots almost every day. Half a dozen plays in which she features are currently being aired on various TV channels. And she is now shooting for another half a dozen! She has also started working in plays for the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr. Channel 24 has just started telecasting a new serial “Jadur Shohor,” featuring Joti.
Recently, Joti chatted with The Daily Star about the play and other ventures.
Tell us about Jadur Shohor.
Jotika: Nurul Alam Atik, a nationally acclaimed director, has directed this serial. The name of my character is Munia who is a co-actress in films. She has to struggle a lot and chase after assistant directors in the hope of getting a good role. The character is quite interesting.
Where was the shooting held?
Jotika: The shootings were held in different locations like Shirajgonj and Dhaka. Most of our shoots were outdoors.
Which of your other plays are being aired at present?
Jotika: ATN Bangla is airing “Palabar Path Nai”, RTV is telecasting “College Road”. There are also other plays like “Rongila” on ETV, “Apon Apon Khela" on Channel 9, “Agnipath” on Boishakhi TV and “Himgirite Jhora Palok” on GTV
Any new serials up your sleeves?
Jotika: Yes, I am working in Habib Masud's “Bela Obelar Golpo”, Imran Imu's “Kutum Pakhi”, Idrish Haider's “Ranga Ma”, and Kaiser Ahmed’s “Mohan Bashi.” Apart from these, I am also shooting for a number of one-hour
Does quality get compromised since you work in many serials simultaneously?
Jotika: I don't have to shoot for all the projects simultaneously. Usually, it is just two or three serials. Sometimes, the projects get piled up as there may not be a free slot on the channels. And when there are, different channels start airing them together. So, it appears to the audience that I work at a hectic pace; they don't seem to understand that the plays were shot at different times. However, I am firm that I don't want to work in too many projects at the same time. If I did, quality might be compromised.
Are you also working on celluloid?
Jotika: Yes, I am. A number of my movies have already been released including “Aaina” and “Rabeya”. I have just finished “Bedeni” where I play the role of a gypsy girl. Abul Kalam Azad has directed the movie.
