Actor Bapparaj has decided not to contest the upcoming Bangladesh Film Artistes’ Association election, despite previously announcing his intention to run for the post of president for the 2026–28 term.

It seems like the controversy isn’t going to stop anytime soon as the Bangladesh Film Directors' Association (BFDC) has mostly been embroiled in disputes for a few weeks now.

Misha Sawdagar has been elected president of the Bangladesh Film Artistes Association for the third consecutive time, defeating veteran actor Mahmud Koli. Monowar Hossain Dipjol secured the position of general secretary.

Bangladesh Film Artistes' Association (BFAA) election is scheduled to take place tomorrow, where two influential panels are competing for leadership for its 2024-26 session.

The two rival panels in the Artistes’ Association election are led by Misha Sawdagar and Monowar Hossain Dipjol; and Nipun Akter and veteran actor Mahmud Koli.
