Arannya Anwar: A committed director

Shah Alam Shazu
Arannya Anwar carved a name in the media by writing and directing TV plays like "Jonok”, “Jonmo”, “Shopner Haat-e Hyena”, “Jubok Khun Hobar Por”, "Raat Pohabar Onek Deri” and “Darao”. However, his biggest success stories were the plays, “Nurul Huda Ekoda Bhalobeshechhilo” and "Otopor Nurul Nuda”. BTV aired both the plays directed by Anwar, where Mahfuz Ahmed played the title role. The trilogy of the drama, an unprecedented phenomenon in our country, was later completed with “Amader Nurul Huda”, which featured a host of stars like Afzal Hossain, Humayun Faridee, Mousumi, Riaz and Zahid Hasan. “Amader Nurul Huda”, written by Arannya Anwar himself, was aired on ATN Bangla.
The unstoppable talented director reveals that another sequel is on the books, and is likely to start the work by next year under the production house of Mahfuz Ahmed. Mahfuz Ahmed will once again play the eponymous role.
The director adds that the success of "Amader Nurul Huda” has encouraged him greatly and promises viewers that the next edition will have more surprises in store.
Arannya Anwar began his directorial journey with the TV play “Ekhane Ator Paowa Jae” and gradually paved a path to success with dramas like “Kanone Kushum Koli”, “Keboli Raat Hoye Jae”, “Ghorar Dim”, “Hoi Hoi Roi Roi”, “Parapar” and "Chobbish Ghonta”.
His “Rupkotha”,aired on ntv, features Eshita in the lead role. The director says that the TV play focuses on the struggles of a girl named Rupkotha, who hails from a small town and is an active theatre artiste in her town. The story rolls forward when she arrives in Dhaka and seeks work on stage. The successful production is nearing its end, says Anwar.
Anwar has also shot a new serial, “Korta Kahini” recently in Gox's Bazar. In the play, Zahid Hasan plays three different roles. The director says the serial has proved a brilliant success and the audience can expect a lot from it.
The talent of the popular director has been recognised with awards from BACHASAS, CJFB and TRAB. However, Anwar considers the admiration of the audience as his biggest reward, as it is for them he directs his plays. The ambitious director now aspires to go behind the camera for a movie. Although initial plans for a movie called “Geneva Camp” had to be scrapped, his aspiration to make a mark on the silver screen remains undimmed. Anwar says, the biggest obstacle to making a good movie is the lack of sufficient funds and the film will only be shot when adequate funds are available.
The director says the new breed of directors, minus a few exceptions are doing a great job behind the camera. However, he goes on to say that in this age of tough competition, only the fittest will survive.
A former journalist, Anwar has used his skills with the pen to script most of his directorial ventures. Asked how he switched careers, Anwar says that it was his long cherished dream to become a director. He adds, “Once, after approaching Impress Telefilm chief Faridur Reza Sagar with the intention of producing a play, he advised me xto direct the play myself. So I took his advice and made the leap of faith. Since then direction has been my career and my addiction.”
