Experimenting with dark content has always been one of director Vicky Zahed’s strengths as a storyteller. This time, his web series “Chokro”, based on a dark yet real-life plot, earned him the Best Director (Series) award at Blender’s Choice – The Daily Star OTT & Digital Content Awards this year.
Breaking away from his conventional comedic roles, the popular small-screen actor is eager to challenge himself as an actor. From playing a serial killer to a professor and now a rockstar, he is ready to mould himself to fit each performance.
This project also marked Tawsif Mahbub’s OTT debut, which received an enthusiastic response from viewers. “My very first OTT project is getting a spin-off, which means the audience loved it. I’m thankful to them. My TV drama debut was with ‘All Time Dourer Upor’, and now ‘Chokro’ on OTT. These first projects will always be special to me.”
Vicky Zahed has recently unveiled his latest project for iScreen, an upcoming web-series titled “Chokro”, starring Tawsif Mahbub and Tasnia Farin.
