A multiple-time National Film Award winner at home and a frequent recipient of honours in India, Jaya now returns to the big screen with her latest film, “OCD”, set for release on February 6.

Another recent highlight is the much-discussed drama “Eta Amaderi Golpo”, which has struck a chord with viewers. “It’s a family drama,” he says. “The story, performances, and direction—all of it works together beautifully. That’s why audiences have embraced it so warmly.”

In “Master”, Mamo plays a character named Jhorna — a role she says she thoroughly enjoyed inhabiting. “I really liked playing this character. There was scope to perform, to explore,” she shared. “Everyone involved in the film has done a wonderful job. Each actor gave their best from their own place.”

Reflecting on the season, she said, “Spring is all about celebration. After winter comes spring, and it’s a season filled with passion and festivity. Everyone loves spring, and so do I.”

“Master” has been chosen for screening in the festival’s prestigious Big Screen Competition section. Badhan plays a significant role in the film.

Looking ahead, her dreams remain simple but sincere. “I’m searching for opportunities to play diverse characters,” she says. “I want to act in films. I just need the right opportunities.”

In a recent conversation with The Daily Star, Rakayet spoke about his upcoming projects, his collaboration with director Raihan Rafi, and his enduring commitment to meaningful storytelling.

Internationally acclaimed actress Babita and the late actor Ilias Javed acted together as a pair in many films. Those films have left a lasting mark on audiences’ hearts. One of the most successful and super-duper commercially successful films of this duo was “Nishan”. The film ran in theatres continuously for more than a year. “Chupi Chupi Bolo Keu Jene Jabe”, a song from “Nishan”, remains popular even today.
