After a long break, Ahmed Shabbir Romeo returns to screen as a labour leader

After a long break, journalist–actor Ahmed Shabbir Romeo has appeared in front of the camera in the role of a labour leader. Romeo had been under treatment for a year, suffering from a serious illness.

Romeo said, “This telefilm is based on contemporary realities and portrays the story of inequality between owners and workers. I have tried to embody the character of a labour leader. I hope the audience will appreciate it.”

Director Kamrul Hasan Fuad said, “For this telefilm, I needed someone older to play the labour leader. I was worried about whether Romeo bhai could take on the role, given his illness. But despite his poor health, he performed brilliantly and brought the character to life. The audience will understand this once they watch the telefilm.”

Apart from Romeo, others who acted in the telefilm include Abdun Noor Sajal, Jannatun Noor (Mim), Tariquzzaman Tapon, Siam Nasir, Naysa Hasan Saybin, Zakir Rubel, Jihad Hasan Saybin, Salauddin, Jummon, Shamim Reza, Badsha, and Rasel Ahmed.

"When the factory gates close, it’s not just the machines that stop. Thousands of dreams come to a halt, countless families are shattered."

With such a story, the telefilm “Garments Bondho” has been made.

The telefilm was written, directed, edited, and colour-graded by Kamrul Hasan Fuad, with the full support of K.H.F. Production, as part of a Channel i production.

It will be aired on Channel I on Friday, August 29, at 3:00 PM.
