PAOLI DAM IN SWATTA

Popular Indian actress Paoli Dam, began her career in 2004 with the Bengali television serial Jibon Niye Khela. Since then, she worked in several television serials and made her debut in the Bengali film industry with Teen Yaari Katha. However, her first official release was Agnipariksa in 2006. She received international recognition for her part in Chatrak, a Bengali film which was screened at Cannes and other film festivals in Toronto and U.K. Paoli made her Bollywood debut when she starred in Hate Story. She also appeared in Vikram Bhatt's Ankur Arora Murder Case, and several other Benglai films. Now Paoli's been signed under Hasibur Reza Kallol's upcoming project Swatta, and will be acting alongside our “Hero Number One” - Shakib Khan. Recently Star Showbiz caught up with the busy bee to find out a few things.

How did it happen? How did you come to be in this project?
After Moner Manush in 2010, I got a lot of offers from Bangladesh. In fact, I came here a few times for certain events like fashion shows, show stoppers, grand openings, but for those things I was just here for a day or so. However, the film projects that I was offered, I either had to decline or they got cancelled.

In regards to Swatta, it was kind of like destiny, because Kollol and I have been talking about this for a year and half. But sadly the project wasn't materializing due to conflicting dates and the fact that I was involved in 5 to 6 projects, one of which is a biopic on theatre actress Keya Chakraborty. Recently, this Friday to be more specific, my film Parapar was released, in which I acted alongside Rubel Ahmed, who plays my father in Swatta. In regards to Swatta, I liked the storyline, and he was working on the script, making certain changes.
Shakib Khan is extremely popular here and I enjoyed working with him. We met a few months ago and that's when it happened. I was happy with the team, Ferdous Rana, the script writer, because initially the script wasn't written by him, as it is actually based on a short story by Sohani Hossain called “Ma”. I also heard about Shoinik, the cinematographer from directors in Calcutta. Overall I found this project very lucrative and nicely placed and I thought since I'm working there, why not work for a project in Bangladesh.
