Aranyak Natyadal and 'Monpura'

Is it coincidental that all the three lead male actors of 'Monpura' have come from 'Aranyak Natyadal'? Perhaps not. Beside being from 'Aranyak Natyadal', they posses another similarity. All of the three-Chanchal Chowdhury, Fazlur Rahman Babu and Mamunur Rashid are very powerful actors.

Chanchal chowdhury in 'Monpura'

Chanchal chowdhury had the fascination for acting since his childhood. But his dream came true in 1996 when he joined 'Aranyak Natyadal'. He showed his brilliant performance in plays like Prakritojoner Kotha, Joyjoyonti, Ora Kodom Ali, Mayur Singhason, Songkranti, Rarang and Che-er Cycle. He resonates the slogan of 'Aranyak Natyadal'-'Theatre is not merely an entertainment tool but an active agent for social change'.

Fazlur Rahman Babu in 'Monpura'

Fazlur Rahman Babu came from Faridpur in 1983 and joined 'Aranyak Natyadal'. Till then, he has performed in every production of Aranyak, except some of the first shows of Shankranti.

Mamunur Rashid in 'Monpura'

And there is Mamunur Rashid. Well this man has become synonymous to 'Aranyak Natyadal'. His performance in 'Mayur Singhason' or Direction of 'Rarang' are good enough to cement his position in Bangla theater’s history.
