“I’m open to any medium, as long as the character excites me and gives me space to explore,” he shared. “Because for me, it’s never just about acting—it’s about becoming the character and living it.”

Although the film debuted with a limited number of screenings, word of mouth spread rapidly; audiences are now captivated not only by the bold storyline but also by Nazifa’s mesmerising performance.

Amidst ongoing online debates, memes, and mockery, the five mainstream films that have been released have found their target audiences.

Only four days remain until Eid. Ahead of the festive occasion, the Bangladesh Film Certification Board has granted screening approval to five films slated for release. The board’s Deputy Director, Md Moinuddin, confirmed the development on Monday (March 16).

The one-and-a-half-minute preview of the film was released yesterday evening. Rather than calling it a teaser, the filmmaker described it as the film’s “First Whistle”.

While some old halls may undergo temporary renovations to meet demand, issues like poor management and the persistent threat of piracy—both locally and during international releases—remain significant hurdles.

On Friday evening, the third poster of the film was unveiled, with Rafi sharing it on social media and announcing that he is dedicating the film to the late filmmaker Tareque Masud.

With the poster release, Raihan Rafi also confirmed that “Pressure Cooker” is set to hit theatres across the country during Eid-ul-Fitr. 

The actress recently completed shooting for Rasheda Akter Lazuk-directed “Shapla Shaluk”, where she stars opposite Shajal Noor. Although some portions of the film are still left to be shot, Bubly has already moved on to her next assignment.
