The controversy regarding prominent film actor and director Khan Ataur Rahman rages on. In order to respond to the controversy, a press conference and discussion meeting titled 'Dukkher Kichu Kotha Bolte Chai' will be held in the city on 19th October at around 11 am in front of BFDC Zaheer Raihan Color Lab.
At the press conference, film Abar Tora Manush Ho, which was recently criticized, will be screened. This incident started when eminent showbiz persona, filmmaker and freedom fighter Nasiruddin Yousuff Bachchu made a controversial remark regarding Khan Ata a few days back, which raised eyebrows across social media. A viral video caught him saying, "It's beyond any doubt that Khan Ataur Rahman was a great artist. But the man is a rajakar".
He went on to say that if it was not for him, Khan Ataur Rahman would not survive. "I say this proudly that he would die after 16th December back in 1971, if it was not for me."
Nasiruddin Yousuff Bachchu also criticized legendary film Abar Tora Manush Ho, directed by National Award-winning director Khan Ata. He said, "This is a negative film as well, the title is directed towards our freedom fighters. It was his intention to humiliate freedom fighters with this film title. Why don't you(Khan Ata) become a human being at first, since you were a rajakar?"
He questioned why the film was not titled Rajakar-ra Manush Ho. His remarks have infuriated many, including Khan Ata's son Agun.
Meanwhile, film actor-turned director Farooque said, "We will talk about respectable Khan Ata in front of reporters at this press conference. Not only Abar Tora Manush Ho will be screened there, the movie will also be discussed thoroughly."
