After the formation of the interim government, small screen artists have called for reforms with various demands. They are holding meetings with an ultimatum demanding reform of the actors union. Among the artists seeking reform is young actor Khairul Basar. He gave a long status on Facebook about the matter.
Khairul Basar wrote: ‘Acting is an art. It is a profession. Everyone’s profession is honorable. But it has not yet received state recognition as a profession. … We have to learn to be professional. We must learn to be apolitical. An artist organization can never be a political puppet. Actors have many types of crises. Ensuring their interests, dignity and rights is possible only when all screen performers belong to a single organization. And then it is possible to reconstruct the whole system.’
Reformation is a positive idea. An ideology. Mentioning its beginning through mutual respect, the actor also wrote: Those who have been there for a long time will not be there, leave him, it’s not like I won’t work with him. It is personal with whomever it is. Actors will act. That’s the job. In the plan we have taken, the actors’ organization will be the only casting hub in Bangladesh. Where all screen actors of the country will be listed according to their skills and capabilities. Actors will take care of character preparation, shoot in beautiful environment, safely.’
‘Reformation does not mean that one group ate and another group came and sat down to eat. There is a high chance of becoming a fascist by removing a fascist – this practice should be stopped. Along with the reformation of the system, we also want the reformation of ourselves. This is called self-reformation. Performers will be messengers of peace, not messengers of destruction. Because they are artists. Artists have to be universal.’
The young actor wrote, ‘There is only one reason why the same situation is repeating itself all over the country. That is, for the last 53 years, only revenge, revenge and hatred have been practiced in the country. If we really want to build a beautiful country, then we must establish truth, beauty and justice together. The practice of honor must be established. We want to do this practice.’
“We want to build an organization that is for all performers. Where there will be no distinction. It once was and it shall remain. It has gradually been corrupted by political intentions. Such as baul songs, pala songs or puthi lessons have been lost under the bamboo floor.’ .
