Eminent Bangladeshi filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki will commence production on Bengali- and English- language film “Saturday Afternoon” in December.
Farooki describes the film as “a thriller where the lives of several people collide on one fateful day.”
Farooki is a Busan Film Festival regular. His “Television” closed the festival in 2012, while his latest, “No Bed of Roses,” starring Irrfan Khan (“Inferno”), is playing in the 2017 A Window on Asian Cinema strand of the festival.

And I am happy that we are gradually going closer to be on board with this really interesting project. The script dissects the world order in a very balanced way,” says Hourani. Casting for the other roles is in progress.
