‘Antarjal’ will be unlike anything you’ve seen: Sunerah

Sunerah Binte Kamal has become a sought-after name in the showbiz industry. Her new movie, Dipankar Dipon directorial "Antarjal" is set to release later this month. Bagging a National Award with her debut film "No Dorai", she went on to act in short film "Moshari", which won multiple international accolades.

The actress talked to The Daily Star for a quick interview.

How do you see your silver-screen return with 'Antarjal'?

"Antarjal" is releasing on September 22. I myself am returning to the silver screen after a long time, which I am very happy about. I love the feeling that I get to derive from my work. The film will be a fresh new project for the audience, and I can say the same about myself. I am very optimistic about it.

How did you personally like filming the country's first cyber-thriller?

The film is really beautiful, and it turned out to be much better than I expected. The director has told the story brilliantly. From the shooting of the movie to dubbing, the experience has been fantastic for me.

Your first film won you the National Award for Best Actress. Why did you wait this long to appear in a second film?

I was fortunate to get the National Award for my first film. "No Dorai" brought me luck. After that, the main reason for not actually doing another film was the Covid-19 pandemic. Once the pandemic came under control, "Antarjal" felt like the best script that I was offered. While filming, I wanted to focus completely on it so I didn't sign up for any other movie.
