Jasim is the protagonist of Dhakai cinema in the eighties. Although he started his career as an extra artist, he became popular as a villain and later as an action hero. In the beginning, he used to get only 10 rupees. He was given his first chance as a hero by renowned filmmaker Delwar Jahan Jhantu. After that, this hero was seen many times on screen opposite Shabana.
How was the story of giving an opportunity to work opposite Shabana? In response to this question, Delwar Jahan Jhantu told RisingBD, “Once I was sitting at Jasim’s house. Jasim said, ‘Jhantu bhai I am acting as an extra. A big director told me, you have shooting tomorrow afternoon. He asked to go to FDC. I asked, what is my shot? He said, the heroine of the movie Shabana should be lifted on your shoulders and placed in front of the boss (main villain). That’s your shot. I will lift such a big heroine! This is a big deal for me! The next morning I went to the market and bought three lux soaps. Shaved and showered well. I took a bath again in the afternoon. So that no smell or taste comes out of my body.’
I said, ‘I will give you a surprise! I am taking you to a new movie tomorrow. There is Alamgir, Sucharita, Shabana and you. will come.’ Then Jasim came to shoot. Dressed and ready, she is sitting. I said to Shabana madam, ‘Your dialogue – I can’t live without you. You are my first love.’ He said, ‘It doesn’t matter. Ready the camera. I am giving the dialogue. Called Alamgir.’ I then made Jasim stand in front and said, ‘Madam give a shot.’ At first, Shabana madam did not understand. looked at me I took Shabana madam a little aside and said, ‘Madam, I didn’t keep you with Alamgir, I kept you with Jasim. But I didn’t tell you that. I didn’t get it right. If you say, I’ll say ‘sorry’.’ Then Shabana madam said, ‘No need to say sorry, go!’
Meanwhile, standing in front of Shabana, Jasim is also shocked! Because Jasim knows nothing. Then Shabana held Jasim’s hand and said, ‘I love you.’ Jassim immediately said, ‘This camera cut cut! It’s going wrong!’ Jasim came to me and said, ‘Madam, what have you said to me?’ I said, ‘Shut up and go there.’ He pulled me out of the floor and said, ‘It’s not a mistake!’ I said, ‘Oh no, no mistake. That’s it. I left you with him.’ He immediately greeted me with his hand on my leg. The movie became a big hit after its release.
Delwar Jahan cast Jhantu Jasim as the first hero in the movie ‘Omar Sharif’. Jassim did not look back after that. This hero gave one after another popular movies.
Jasim is one of the most successful and timeless heroes of Dhaka cinema. In eighties and nineties, he hit the silver screen with power. He has established himself as a successful hero with one successful movie after another. He is considered the pioneer of the action genre of cinema in the country.
