Misa Sawdagar has built one of the most recognisable careers in Bangladeshi cinema, but the actor says he owes a significant part of that journey to filmmaker Chatku Ahmed.
Known primarily for his powerful performances as a villain, Misa has gradually expanded his range by taking on characters across different genres. He continues to work regularly in films and remains active in shooting and other industry activities.
Amid his busy schedule, the actor took a moment to remember someone he considers instrumental in his career. On Chatku Ahmed’s birthday, Misha shared an emotional message on social media, addressing the veteran filmmaker as “Baba”.
“I will never be able to repay your debt. I will remain indebted to you throughout my life,” Misha wrote.
He went on to acknowledge the filmmaker’s contribution to his rise in the industry.
“The biggest contribution behind the making of Misa Sawdagar is yours. I am grateful to you,” he wrote.
Misa also wished Chatku Ahmed good health and happiness, writing, “Stay healthy, stay well and stay happy. Happy birthday, Baba.”
The message reflects the deep respect Misha continues to hold for the filmmaker. For the actor, Chatku Ahmed’s role in his career goes beyond that of a director who worked with him on screen.
Over the years, Misa has established himself as one of the country’s most familiar screen villains, with his commanding presence and distinctive dialogue delivery becoming hallmarks of his performances.
He has also moved beyond negative roles and taken on a variety of characters throughout his long career.
As he continues to remain active in the industry, Misa’s birthday tribute to Chatku Ahmed offered a glimpse into the relationship and gratitude behind one of Bangladeshi cinema’s enduring screen careers.
