Shooting of Tauquir Ahmed's
film 'Sphulingo' concluded
yesterday. The director
completed the shooting in
just 23 days. The shooting of
the film started on December
11 at Nokkhottrobari Resort
in Rajendrapur. Tauquir
Ahmed said.
However, some patchwork
remains. I will complete the
work of dubbing and
editing. 'Tauquir Ahmed
expressed his gratitude to
everyone including the
artist of the film for their
great cooperation to
complete the shooting for
just 23 consecutive days.
'Sphulingo' is being produced
by 'Shopnoer Bangladesh
Foundation'. After ' Joyjatra ',
Angelina Jolie approached
to direct Fifty Shades films
Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan rose to fame with the
Fifty Shades Of Grey franchise with their role of Anastasia
Steele and Christian Grey respectively. They have got a
massive fan following post the success of films. But do y'all
know, not Sam Taylor-Johnson but Angelina Jolie was the
first choice to direct the film?
Yes, that's correct. The beautiful mommy has already directed
films like Unbroken, By The Sea and First They Killed My Father
to name a few.
In an interview, Angelina Jolie revealed why she declined to
direct the Fifty Shades Films and said, "I - I think they're just …
it's funny, I think with directing, you just think, "I'm better at
telling some stories than others," but, um, who knows? I came
very clear out of the gate: after Blood And Honey, if I ever
directed again, it would have to be a certain kind of film."
Meanwhile, have you ever wondered how much Dakota earned
with her raunchy character in Fifty Shades? For the unversed,
Dakota Johnson's role as Anastasia was pretty bold. Her
character involved a lot of innocence and sweetness, but there
was a lot of steamy romance. And with that came multiple
intimate scenes. In fact, Dakota even had to go n*de for multiple
of them. Of course, she charged a hefty sum for the same.
But we're a little shocked with the fact that Dakota Johnson
and Jamie Dornan almost earned equal amounts. We mean,
equality all the way as far as the pay parity goes. But Dakota had
a lot more bold scenes, and most actors charge double the
amount for the same. For example, Megan Fox charged a huge
sum for her role in the Transformers.

make it clear that we are taking this decision for the betterment
of cinema halls during the pandemic," he said.
"After the pandemic is over, we will not release Indian films
anymore. Local films are our highest priority. There will also be
no foreign releases in major festivals, moving forward."
Mushfiqur Rahman Gulzar stated that new policies are
required before releasing Indian films. "We already have the
permission of importing Indian films in the SAFTA agreement,"
he said. "We can bring both Bengali and Hindi films, but not
throughout the year. For the time being, we have agreed to do
this for one year," he said.
Shooting of Tauquir’s
‘Sphulingo’ concludes
'Rupkothar Golpo', 'Daruchini
Dwip', ' Oggatonama ', 'Halda'
and 'Fagun Haway', this time
Tauquir Ahmed's movie is with
a band group.
Basically, the film is found in
a combination of youth with the
ideals and consciousness of
Bangabandhu. This was stated
by the director at a press
conference on the film in
December.
At that time, the director of
the film said in the context of
the story of the film, the
movie will go ahead with the
relationship between the
liberation war and creativity
in youth. Through band
music, various forms of
relationship, creation and
revolution will be revealed in
it. Besides, the desire for
responsibility will also be
highlighted.
The film stars Rawnak
Hasan, Pori Moni and Shamol
Mawla and Zakia Bari Mamo
in four central roles. Artists
like Abul Hayat, Mamunur
Rashid, Shahidul Alam
Sachchu have also acted.
Pintu Ghosh is in charge of
directing the music of the
movie. Director Tauquir
Ahmed has announced plans
to release the movie in
March.
H o R o s c o p e
ARIes
(March 21 - April 20) : The morning
might find you sitting like a stick in the
mud, Aries. People might be getting
down on you for not contributing, but
tell them to be patient. You will be raring to go by
nightfall. The catalyst may come from an outside
source. Be on the lookout for a challenge. Someone
might rattle your cage a bit too much, so be patient
and don't take it personally.
TAURUs
(April 21 - May 21) : Things are
moving your way, Taurus. As the day
progresses, you will find that the
energy intensifies. Conflicts may
arise near sundown, but don't worry about it too
much. See it as a call to jump-start your motor.
Visit an antique shop and chat with the people
around you. Simple yet meaningful encounters
may prove richly rewarding.
GeMINI
(May 22 - June 21) : You should enjoy the
intense energy of today, Gemini. The mud is
finally beginning to clear away. Expose the
truth in every issue and get ready for the
gremlins that may be unEarthed. Connect with nature
today and spend some time with animals if you can. Take
deep breaths in fresh outdoor air and enjoy a long walk
somewhere special with a close friend.
cANceR
(June 22 - July 23) : Today marks the
beginning of a new cycle for you, Cancer.
Collect and consolidate your recent ideas
and focus them outwardly. The time is
right for you to act. Improve your surroundings and
adjust your bed so that it faces east/west. (A
north/south placement aligns you with Earth's
magnetic field and causes you to lose energy at night.)
Drink plenty of water to keep your mind clear.
Leo
(July 24 - Aug. 23): Take a cold
shower to jump-start yourself today,
Leo. It's fine if you laze around a bit in
the morning, but by evening, you
should be working at full capacity. You will be called
into action whether you want to be or not. Notice
how active your dreams are tonight and over the
next couple of nights. Messages are trying to get
through, so listen.
VIRGo
(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): Today may start
out sluggish for you, Virgo, but by the end of
the day the energy will move fast and
furious. Your thoughts will be buzzing
around your head like bees around a hive. An introspective
and contemplative morning has filled your brain with a
new wave of thoughts, which you will be eager to share with
anything that has ears tonight.
LIBRA
(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): Enjoy the calm
morning, Libra, because things are
going to get crazier and more
energetic as the day goes on.
Emotions will run high, and people will be more
opinionated than usual. A conflict may arise from
which you just want to extricate yourself. Realize
that a more peaceful agreement will ensue if you
jump in and add your two cents' worth.
scoRpIo
(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22): You will experience
an intense amount of energy today,
Scorpio. Your dream state will be more
active than usual, and you will find
that people are drawn to you like moths to light.
Make sure you keep your fiery emotions in balance
and don't cross any boundaries with others. People
have limits, and it's important that you honor theirs
as well as your own.
sAGITTARIUs
(Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): It's time to get up and get
moving, Sagittarius. You have tremendous
ideas and vision for the future. You have all the
information you need. Now all you have to do
is act. Step up to the plate and hit one over the fence. Getting
out of your box and further into the world at large will do you
a great deal of good. Get a greater perspective on things and
enjoy time in a new environment.
cApRIcoRN
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): The early part of the day
might find you sluggish and indecisive,
Capricorn, but later you should be
psyched up and ready to go. Today
marks the beginning of a new period in which you
should set your ideas in motion. Action is the key.
Think before you speak and use caution when talking
about other people. Make sure your discussions
about others don't turn into gossip.
AQUARIUs
(Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) : Today's energies will
get progressively more intense as the day
goes on. In the morning, you may be in an
easygoing, dreamy state, Aquarius, but
you will be itching to take action by nightfall. Take what
you've learned from your sensitive, meditative state and
share it with others. Use your inner calm to bring
stability to stressful situations. Make sure things don't
get out of hand tonight.
pIsces
(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) : For the past several
weeks you've felt like you've been dragging
your heels, Pisces. Decisions may have been
hard to make and people may have seemed
wishy-washy. There's a major energy shift tonight that will
spark things back into action. Once again you will be on
center stage. Be yourself and smile. Fun is a commodity you
have in abundance. Share this incredible gift with others.
