One of Bangladesh's leading digital entertainment platforms, Bongo is set to release its latest original drama, "Kanta" (Thorn) on Friday (12 July).
Written and directed by Riyad Mahmud, "Kanta" delves into the pervasive issue of corruption in everyday offices, focusing on the story of a clerk who misuses his position for personal gain, said a press release.
The recently released trailer on Bongo's social media platforms introduces the main character, Fazlu, portrayed by popular actor and director Sharaf Ahmed Jibon.
Fazlu is a clerk who withholds people's files to extort bribes, thereby significantly improving his household's financial situation.
However, his life takes an unexpected turn when a fishbone gets lodged in his throat during a meal.
The unfolding events promise to be both humorous and thought-provoking, urging viewers to question the real cost of corruption.
Bongo Chief Content Officer Mushfiqur Rahman Manju said, “'Kanta' is a very timely story. Through humour, it highlights the harsh reality of today's society. Bongo always strives to bring unique and engaging stories to our audience. I believe the audience will relate very well to the story of 'Kanta'."
The cast of "Kanta" also includes notable actors such as Solaiman Khoka, Saiful Islam Rafi, and Sushma Sarkar, who bring depth and dynamism to their respective roles.
Viewers can catch the premiere on the Bongo app and website.
