Bidya Sinha Mim is set to make her debut on Bangladesh’s OTT platform Chorki with an upcoming original film, marking a new step in the acclaimed actress’s screen career.
Mim finalised her agreement for the untitled project at Chorki’s office on December 13, shortly after returning from a brief break in the Maldives. The emotional drama is expected to enter production later this month.
The project will be directed and produced by Kazi Asad, whose previous work with Chorki includes the horror series Adhunik Bangla Hotel.
Mim Chooses Story Over Glamour
For Kazi Asad, one of the major attractions of casting Mim is the opportunity to present her in a role that moves away from the glamorous characters audiences often associate with her.
The filmmaker described Mim as an established and talented performer and said the creative challenge will be to place her in a completely different kind of character.
He believes the transformation will offer viewers a fresh perspective on the actress.
The project also marks Asad’s second collaboration with Chorki after his earlier work for the platform.
The Story Convinced Mim to Return
Mim said the film’s story was the key reason she decided to take on the project after a relatively quiet period.
The actress explained that she receives numerous offers but does not accept projects simply because they are available. She carefully considers the story and other creative factors before committing to a production.
After hearing the narration and looking at Kazi Asad’s previous work for Chorki, she felt strongly that this was a project worth joining.
Although Mim has chosen not to reveal details about her character, she has hinted that her journey in the film will contain a major surprise.
That element is expected to be an important part of the story and could give the actress an opportunity to explore a side of her screen persona that audiences have not seen before.
Mim Praises Chorki’s Content
Mim also expressed enthusiasm about working with Chorki, saying that she regularly watches the platform’s films and series.
Her debut collaboration with the streaming service therefore comes with familiarity with its style of original content.
She hopes the upcoming film will connect with viewers and establish a strong beginning to her relationship with the platform.
Chorki Welcomes Mim
Chorki CEO Redwan Rony welcomed Mim to the platform and praised her presence as a major force on the big screen.
He expressed confidence that the actress will create a similar impact when she makes her OTT debut with the upcoming original film.
For Chorki, the addition of an established theatrical star such as Mim also adds another prominent name to its growing roster of original productions.
Kazi Asad Leads the Creative Team
The film’s story has been written by Mahmudul Hasan Tipu, while the screenplay is being developed jointly by Asaduzzaman Abir and Kazi Asad.
Several other actors have already joined the production, although their roles and character details have not yet been disclosed.
Additional casting announcements are expected as the project moves closer to production.
More Projects Ahead for Mim in 2026
Mim has indicated that her Chorki project will not be her only major undertaking in the coming year.
The actress suggested that more of her upcoming work could be announced in 2026, pointing to a potentially busy period ahead.
Her decision to make an OTT debut with a character-driven emotional story also reflects the changing landscape of Bangladeshi entertainment, where established cinema performers are increasingly exploring streaming platforms.
With production approaching and the details of Mim’s character being kept under wraps, her first Chorki original will be closely watched by audiences eager to see the actress in a different role.
