Ziaul Faruq Apurba, once a regular face in Bangladeshi television dramas, has become somewhat of a rare presence in recent years. Occasionally appearing in select productions, Apurba had been busy with his work on OTT platforms, most notably solidifying his position with the hit series “Golam Mamun”.

The recent political upheaval and the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government in Bangladesh have significantly impacted the entertainment industry in both Bengals. For decades, films have been co-produced by Bangladesh and India, featuring actors and actresses from both countries. However, with the current unstable political climate, these collaborations may be on hold.

Actor Ziaul Faruq Apurba posted yesterday and again today. In his latest post, he wrote, “Violence and bloodshed bring no solutions. Can’t we resolve this by listening to the students and engaging in dialogue? Do we lack voices to speak and ears to listen?”

Glistening eyes, powerful expression, and a soul-stirring smile—Ziaul Faruq Apurba has enjoyed a successful career on the small screen for over a decade. His popularity has transcended the borders of Bangladesh, reaching fans in Kolkata who are die-hard admirers of the "Boro Chele" actor.

Several movies, songs, and OTT content have hit the screens and digital platforms during Eid ul-Azha, garnering significant attention and applause from audiences. Among them, the spotlight has prominently shone on the movie "Toofan", directed by Raihan Rafi.

Fathers play a great role in a child’s life. They are the shadow, guide, and often the most reliable friend one can have. Commemorating International Father’s Day today, stars who have lost their father have expressed feelings that remain untold, and what they would say if they got another chance.

Even though “Golam Mamun” is a spin-off series, Shihab Shaheen uses it to reflect our current socio-political realities through fiction and brief dialogues, highlighting numerous inconsistencies in our surroundings. However, we should question his portrayal of everything under an invisible shadow, or ‘Hukumat’. This ‘invisible’ aspect implants a spectral reality in our minds, which eventually seems insurmountable. The ruling apparatus takes full advantage of this, becoming more active in masking their failures. 

This touching tribute was shared by Mehazabien herself on her official Facebook account on Thursday.

While there were few noteworthy offerings last Eid-ul-Fitr for OTT, this upcoming Eid-ul-Azha, platforms have arranged for a lineup of web-series and films that are sure to entertain.

On the heels of the success of “Buker Moddhye Agun”, Hoichoi has introduced its spin-off series, “Golam Mamun”. This new series centers on ACP Golam Mamun (played by Ziaul Faruq Apurba), delving into a gripping murder mystery that entangles his name.

Popular star Ziaul Faruq Apurba's spin-off series “Golam Mamun” is awaiting release. However, while shooting the action scenes of this series, he recently suffered serious injuries to his hand and back.

The one-minute nine-second teaser hints at Mamun's involvement in a major investigation, potentially marking a turning point in his career. As he prepares himself for the challenge, an event from Mamun's past resurfaces, complicating matters.

Apurba starrer Eid Special drama "Moner Kolahol", directed by Rubel Hasan, is set to premiere on Banglavision today morning. He will be sharing the screen with Sabila Nur in this eagerly-anticipated project. Yet, amidst the glitz and glamour, Eid holds a poignant significance for Apurba, evoking memories of a cherished past and a profound sense of loss. In an intimate conversation with The Daily Star, Apurba opens up about his bittersweet Eid experiences, reflecting on the joyous celebrations of his youth and the enduring nostalgia that accompanies them.

The television drama industry has been buzzing for the past two days, with much discussion surrounding popular actor Ziaul Faruq Apurba and Alpha i Managing Director Shahriar Shakil, who found themselves in the limelight due to a misunderstanding. During this period, artistes were actively showing their support for Apurba on social media. Notably, producers, cameramen, makeup artistes, and others also rallied behind him.

Last night, all litigations against Ziaul Faruq Apurba, including breach of contract and embezzlement, were resolved after the meeting with the Television and Digital Program Producers Association of Bangladesh (Telepab) and the Actors Equity took place on Saturday (March 16).

The statement mentioned that Apurba had signed a contract worth Tk 50 lakh for acting in 24 dramas produced by Alpha-i . Initially, he took Tk 25 lakh as advance payment. Later, he took Tk 8 lakh from the production company on multiple occasions.

The actor cleared out his stances after a special screening arranged for his recent much-anticipated Deepto Play original web film, “UNO Sir”, which was simultaneously released on the platform on Saturday at Deepto TV premises in Tejgaon in the capital.

The friendship between Ziaul Faruq Apurba and Afran Nisho, two well-known actors in the realm of television, is a tale familiar to many. On numerous occasions, they have been witnessed sharing laughter, joy, and even singing together, occasionally with guitars in hand. Regrettably, their camaraderie has not remained the same in recent months, and they haven't been seen together for an extended period. The reason behind this change was discovered when Apurba shed light on the situation. In a recent conversation with The Daily Prothom Alo, Apurba explained the reason for their silence using the phrase “jate matal tale thik.”

In a recent visit to the TikTok headquarters, renowned Bangladeshi actor Ziaul Faruq Apurba expressed his admiration for the unique atmosphere of the popular social media platform's main office. The acclaimed artiste, currently on a break from his hectic acting schedule, took a trip to Dubai and explored the TikTok headquarters.

A mesmerising 30-second teaser of the drama series "Pothe Holo Deri" showcases Apurba, wading in a boat in the vast expanse of a turbulent sea while delivering a compelling dialogue in the background.
