Apart from this, she will also be making her OTT debut with the new web-series titled, Mission Huntdown .

In a candid conversation with The Daily Star, Mim shared insights about her upcoming movie, and much more.

You have received the Best Actress award for your film “Poran” at India’s Tele-Cine Awards. How do you feel?

It feels amazing. Especially after acting in my own country’s movie, getting recognition from another country is truly heartwarming. This award will undoubtedly add a new dimension to my career. It really gave me momentum ahead of the release of my upcoming projects.

Do you think our audience will enjoy “Antarjal”?

I believe the audience will embrace “Antarjal” wholeheartedly, since it is Bangladesh’s first cyberthriller. Those who are students, thriller enthusiasts and interested in cyber-related subjects in general, will particularly enjoy it. This film will give audiences a Hollywood-like experience.

Tell us about your character in the film.

Last year, “Poran” was released around the same time. In this film, the audience won’t see me smiling at all. So, this was a challenging role for me. I love to blend into different types of characters.

Is there anything you want to tell your fans?

I have love and faith in my audience. My fans also love me. They have showered me with love for the film, “Poran”. I believe they will show the same level of love for “Antarjal” as well. I urge the audience to watch “Antarjal” in theatres, with their friends and family.
