Bappi to replace Shakib


The male lead will be playing a passionate lover who is madly in love with Mim -

Shakib was recently roped into a film that paired him up with Bidya Sinha Mim in “Dream Girl.” But later, he gave several excuses regarding his decision to back off from the film by citing his busy schedule and refused the offer by director Shafiuddin Shafi.

Rumour mills are buzzing with the news that  the Dhallywood megastar is not only sharing on-screen chemistry with the leggy beauty Apu Biswas, but also having an off-screen camaraderie with his leading lady. It has also been speculated that Apu did not want to share her man with Mim and that is why Shakib backed off from “Dream Girl.”

To find out the real reason behind Shakib's refusal, Dhaka Tribune caught up with the director who said: “Shakib cannot find time for the film. But we are still hoping for his green signal.”

When we expressed our curiosity about the actor replacing Shakib, the director promptly replied: “At present, Bappi Chowdhury and Shakib are the only contenders. If Shakib cannot make it, Bappi will take over.”

About casting Bappi, Shafiuddin said: “Bappi's quintessential lover-boy image will do justice to the script.”

The story is about a girl who comes from abroad and looks for an eligible bachelor to tie the knot. The male lead will be playing a passionate lover who is madly in love with Mim.

“Every man dreams of having a beautiful girl in his life. Mim is a deserving actor for the role of 'Dream Girl,'” added the director.

The shooting of the film will start from November and the director hopes to release it on Valentine's day next year.
