The much-anticipated biopic on late Dhallywood superstar Salman Shah, directed by veteran filmmaker Chotku Ahmed, has been shelved following objections raised by the actor's mother, Neela Chowdhury. Chotku revealed that Neela, who currently resides in London, called him to request that he stop production on the biopic, tentatively titled "Swapner Rajkumar." The director said to the media, "I had just finished writing the script for 'Swapner Rajkumar' and was assembling a team to cast new actors from different districts across the country.
That's when Neela Chowdhury asked me to halt the project." Chotku explained, "Neela had issued a legal notice long ago, asking everyone to refrain from making movies, dramas, or other projects based on Salman Shah. Following her recent objection, I've decided to put the project on hold.
However, she hasn't specified exactly why she's against the film." Regarding the matter, the late actor's mother, Neela Chowdhury clarified her side of the story, stating, "It's been 28 years since my son passed away, and I don't believe making movies, dramas, or songs about him is appropriate. Our family has always opposed these efforts, and we've even issued a legal notice.
These things just shouldn't be done." Salman Shah was born on September 19, 1971, at his maternal grandparents' house in Daria Para, Sylhet. He died on September 6, 1996, but within just four years of working in the industry in the early 1990s, he became a legend in Bangladeshi cinema.
