Nana Shah withdrew from the panel of actress Nipun. His comment, ‘Skillful did not keep words. I made a mistake by going to his panel.’ Nana Shah appeared at the iftar party of the Misha-Dipzol panel yesterday and said these things.
Nana Shah said, ‘Last time I contested the election with DA Taib Nipun. I elected with them hoping for some good work. They promised to make a movie. Remember one thing, artists association cannot produce movies. But Nippon promised to produce 6 movies. I was ahead of his word. I acted in two movies. But they did not come to my side. We artists want respect and love. It hurts when we lose it. The saddest part is that many of our artists are now unemployed. What has the artist association done for them in two years? I have not seen the success of the artist association in two years.’
Nana Shah has not seen the success of the work of the Kanchan-skilled panel in two years but has seen strange success. Referring to that, he said, ‘Our television hero Chanchal Chowdhury got an award in India, is it the contribution of Shilpi Samiti. What is the artist association here? This is what he got in action. Work has to be done, there is no point in saying such strange things. We went to that committee and made a mistake. So this time I have already decided that Misha-Dipzol will be on the panel. Those who can do anything are on this panel. Earlier panels did not have producers. But in this panel there are three producers-directors and artistes. Produced by Dipzal, Misha, Aami, Rosina, Tayeb, Jackie Alamgir. We will not tell you what to do, we will show you. We don’t want any injustice, we don’t want division. We have seen elections before but now it seems like a strange situation.’
It has recently been revealed that Shilpi Samiti will not hold elections for the term 2024-26. But Nana Shah said, no one can thwart the election. It cannot be allowed to happen. He said, ‘I heard that the election will be stopped, it will not happen. There is no use in talking nonsense. There will be an election. We will select all artists together. If anyone obstructs, wants to disrupt the election, we will obstruct him. But artists can’t stop the election of the association.’
Producer-director and owner of Sony Cinemas, Mohammad Hossain, has created trouble in various associations at various times. Referring to this, the hero of the movie ‘Mati O Manush’ said, ‘Mohammed Hossain’s job is to create trouble. The Producers Association has come to destroy the Artists Association. My hand begs him – please go home. Don’t bother with our artists. You make movies. Why are you playing with us? Please don’t you create division among our artists.’
Recently, Khorshed Alam Khosru, the election commissioner of Shilpi Samiti, and Shamsul Alam, chairman of the appeal board, came under criticism in the search for a competent president. Expressing hope to them, Nana Shah said, ‘I have heard the debate about the Election Commission. But I hope to them, such a debate should not happen again. I hope they will conduct a healthy and beautiful election.’
Finally, Nana Shah asked for prayers from everyone and said, ‘All of us who are united should pray that we can be united till death.’
It is to be noted that Nana Shah made his film debut in 1982 by playing the lead role in Abdullah Al Mamun’s ‘Mati O Mansoon’. Then Hasibul Islam Mizan’s ‘Premer Kasam’ and Hafiz Uddin’s ‘Bajigar’, he won the love of the audience by acting as a villain. After that, he worked in several movies including ‘Prithibi Mee Chaye Na’, ‘Anand Ashru’, ‘Tumi Amar Bhoola’. Nana Shah first started his career in films as a hero, but gained popularity by working as a villain.
