Dhallywood star Apu Biswas is preparing for her return to the big screen after a two-year absence, with the upcoming thriller Durbar marking her latest feature-film appearance.
Directed by Kamrul Hasan Fuad, Durbar is currently in production, with Apu revealing that around 40 percent of her scenes have already been filmed. The remaining portions featuring the actress are expected to be completed soon.
For Apu, the project represents a carefully chosen return rather than a rushed comeback.
Apu Biswas Promises Action and Suspense in ‘Durbar’
Apu described Durbar as a promising project that combines action, suspense and entertainment.
According to the actress, the film will also contain several surprises for viewers, although she has chosen not to reveal specific plot details or disclose the nature of her character before production is complete.
She believes audiences will have to wait until the film is ready to discover what makes her role different.
‘Cinema Remains Central to My Identity’
Speaking about her return after a lengthy break, Apu emphasised the importance of cinema in her life and career.
She said the affection and support she has received from audiences through her films have been fundamental to her journey in the industry. Returning with a project she considers strong therefore carries particular significance for the actress.
Rather than viewing the two-year gap as a setback, Apu said she has no regrets about taking the time away from films. She believes waiting for a suitable project was the right decision.
For her, Durbar fits the expectations she had for her next major screen appearance.
Apu Biswas and Sajal Pair Up for the First Time
Apu Biswas stars opposite Sajal in Durbar, giving the film a pairing that she believes will offer audiences something new.
The actress said her experience of working with Sajal has been positive from the beginning and expressed confidence that viewers will see a different side of their on-screen combination.
She went so far as to describe Sajal as a “dream co-star”, highlighting her satisfaction with their collaboration.
The actress has not yet revealed details about the relationship between their characters, leaving the nature of their roles as one of the film’s unanswered questions.
Apu Keeps Her Character Details Secret
Despite growing interest in Durbar, Apu is deliberately keeping information about her character under wraps.
She prefers to discuss the role after filming has been completed rather than reveal key details while production is still underway.
That approach also allows the film’s promotional campaign to gradually introduce its characters and story without giving away major elements of the thriller.
A Carefully Chosen Comeback
Apu Biswas has remained a prominent name in Bangladeshi cinema, making her return after two years a notable development for Dhallywood audiences.
The actress has made it clear that her absence was not something she regrets. Instead, she used the period to wait for a story and team that matched what she wanted from her next project.
With filming now progressing and a substantial portion of her work already completed, Durbar is bringing Apu back to a space where she has built much of her career.
