Due to a busy shooting schedule for TV plays aired on the various television channels during the Eid holidays, actor Chanchal Chowdhury, of Monpura fame, had no time for the drama serials. He, thus, plans to devote most of his time now on these serials.
‘The hectic schedule for Eid Special TV plays did not allow me to give schedule to the ongoing TV serials,’ said Chowdhury to New Age recently.
One of the busiest young actors on the small screen, Chowdhury has won hearts of countless viewers of the country by playing roles of diverse rural characters in various TV plays within a short period of time, ever since playing the lead role in a TV play titled ‘Grash’, written by Manju Sarkar and directed by Faridur Rahman. He has also proved his talent in
film-acting after the huge hit of his debut film, Monpura.
Chanchal Chowdhury accounts his success to two factors: his selectiveness in choosing characters and his relentless efforts at entering deep into
the character that he is playing. ‘Whenever
I get a script, I read it a number of times to clearly understand the character,’ he said.
Chowdhury is fond of playing roles, which are a bit rustic, as he finds it easy to relate to characters resembling his own roots. His favourite roles include the characters of Fiza Master in Bhober Haat, Japan Daktar in Sakin Shari Shuri and Shonai in Monpura. ‘As I spent my childhood in a village, I am more comfortable portraying rural types in any drama or films,’ he said.
The characters he plays in a number of TV plays bear some similarities of his own restlessness during his boyhood in Kamarhaat village in Pabna.
