National contest for selecting new film actors

National competition for screening out new actors is due to resume after nearly twenty-seven years. The competition will tentatively start from the first week of next month that is January, 2018, Mushfiqur Rahman Gulzar, president of Bangladesh film directors' association has confirmed. The annual competition was started in 1984 by BFDC or Bangladesh Film Development Corporation. It continued for some years but since 1990 the session has been withheld. Gulzar has further pointed out that this very arrangement of BFDC brought forth film stars like Diti, Sohel Chowdhury, Misha Sawdagor, Manna and Amit Hasan. Thus it is very important for bringing out new talents in acting.
The organizing committee is already under process for formulation. Muntazur Rahman Akbar, vice-president of Bangladesh film directors' association has been made the convener.  He has reportedly said the annual competition will be held every year from now. He also expressed his surprise at the fact that the competition has not been held for twenty-seven years now. An elaborate meeting will be held between film directors' association, BFDC and Ministry of Information and only after that final announcement regarding the schedule and entry rules will be made.
