Rabindranath Tagore’s celebrated short story “Shasti”, previously adapted for the screen by Chashi Nazrul Islam in 2004, is set to return in a new cinematic form—this time reimagined for a contemporary audience.

Pori Moni and Chanchal Chowdhury are set to collaborate for the first time in a film inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s short story “Shasti”.

Shooting of the film “Pritilata”, based on revolutionary freedom fighter Pritilata Waddedar, is set to resume in the new year, director Rashid Polash has said.

The project was first announced in January, with plans to start shooting the following month. However, despite early buzz, production never commenced. Huda explained that the delays stemmed from unresolved issues in the story.

Bangladeshi actress Pori Moni marked her birthday on October 24 in Malaysia, far from the glamorous celebration that once defined her special day in Dhaka’s showbiz circle.

Pori Moni’s portrayal of the resilient Supti, navigating life’s harsh realities while enduring pregnancy in Anam Biswas’ “Rongila Kitab”, has earned her widespread acclaim. The performance secured her the Best Actress award at the fourth edition of Blender's Choice–The Daily Star OTT & Digital Content Awards 2024.

Pori Moni went on to add, “This is not just an award to me; it is much more. It is a recognition that a mother can do anything and achieve anything she sets her mind to. After giving birth, I was body-shamed for gaining weight. Many people commented on how ‘fat’ I had become. But only a few truly understand what a mother goes through—unless they are mothers themselves.”

Directed by Anam Biswas, the Hoichoi original series premiered in late 2024 and follows the turbulent journey of Supti, a pregnant woman forced to flee with her husband after being falsely accused of a crime

Recently, she revealed that a portion of the profits from this business will be dedicated to supporting pregnant women and newborns.

The Bangla calendar has turned a new year and bidding goodbye to 1431, we welcome 1432, bringing with it fresh energy, renewed hopes, and a collective dream of new beginnings. 

Yesterday, actress Pori Moni went live on her official Facebook page to respond to recent media coverage surrounding allegations made by a domestic worker.

In an industry where the spotlight often overshadows personal life, Pori Moni's devotion to her children is a reminder that family remains at the core of everything she does. This Eid, she plans to stay in Dhaka, spending quality time with her little ones, ensuring the holiday revolves around their happiness. "Even if I go somewhere, I’ll take them with me," she shared with a smile.

Deepto TV has announced a week-long special programme to mark Eid-ul-Fitr, featuring a lineup of Bengali films, including three world premieres.

While their relationship remains undefined, one thing is certain—their friendship has captured the public’s attention, leaving fans and followers eagerly watching for what unfolds next.

On this special occasion, people celebrate in various ways, making plans and cherishing moments with loved ones. Celebrities, too, share their thoughts on love and what it truly means to them. Here’s what five renowned stars have to say about love.

Pori Moni has been away from the silver screen for a while, making headlines for reasons beyond cinema. This time, her latest film “Kagojer Bou” premiered on the Bongo app yesterday (February 13). This release marks her long-awaited return, directly on an OTT platform instead of theatres.

Speaking to The Daily Star, Pori Moni confirmed her involvement in the project. "I will be portraying the character of Rupa in this film. Rupa will dance, fall in love, and even take part in action sequences.”

Pori Moni has often been in the limelight for her personal life more than her work. Over the years, the actress has faced criticism for controversies surrounding her relationships, marriage, and even drug-related incidents.

Following the social media controversy over two prominent actresses, Mehazabien Chowdhury in Chattogram and Pori Moni in Tangail, being prevented from attending launch events in their respective locations, another actress, Apu Biswas, has faced the same obstacle today. She was scheduled to inaugurate a restaurant in Dhaka’s Kamrangirchar area.

Pori Moni also stated, "I do not want to be disappointed; I want the truth to prevail in the end."
