As Eid-ul-Fitr films continue to draw audiences to theatres, celebrities are actively promoting their movies. Among them is Mosharraf Karim, who, despite recently undergoing surgery to remove a tumour from his ankle, has been engaging with the media and interacting with audiences to support his latest film, "Chokkor 302".

Directed by Saraf Ahmed Zibon, the film follows Moinul, a mysterious police officer portrayed by Mosharraf Karim. After the movie's premiere, the actor attended a screening at Bashundhara's Star Cineplex, where he connected with the audience and gauged their reactions.

Expressing his excitement to The Daily Star, Mosharraf shared, "It feels great to see the audience watching the film. A good movie endures through the love of its viewers. The audience is the heart of cinema, and I am optimistic about 'Chokkor 302'."

He also highlighted the festive atmosphere surrounding Eid film screenings, saying, "More and more people are watching local films in a celebratory mood, which is a positive sign for our industry."

Reflecting on his experience at the premiere, he said, "It was my first time watching 'Chokkor 302' in its entirety, and I truly enjoyed it. The energy in the theatre was incredible—I could feel how much the audience loved it. It was a fantastic experience."

He believes the film's strength lies in its compelling narrative. "A great story always captivates the audience, and 'Chokkor 302' delivers just that. The plot will keep viewers engaged and leave a lasting impact. This is a film for everyone."

Speaking about his character, he explained, "Moinul is a deeply layered character caught in a web of mystery, relationships, and suspense, making the story even more engaging."

"I thoroughly enjoyed playing the role. I fully immersed myself in Moinul's world, which made the journey even more fulfilling."

He urged audiences to support the film stating, "Many movies have been officially released this Eid, and 'Chokkor 302' is one of them. Please watch it and continue supporting our local cinema."

This Eid, Mosharraf stayed in Dhaka, recovering from his surgery. Despite being at home for most of the time, he made an effort to attend the premiere and later visited Cineplex a day after the film's release.
