ZEE5 Global to release 2nd Bangladeshi original Jan 9

After the grand success of first Bangladeshi original ‘Mainkar Chipay’, ZEE5 Global, the largest OTT platform for South Asian content, will release second Bangladeshi original, ‘What the Fry (WTFry)’ on January 9.

Directed by National Award-winning director Anam Biswas, ZEE5 Global unveiled the trailer of the short film on Monday.  

The streaming platform also revealed the poster of the film starring Bidya Sinha Mim and Pritom Hasan, Sakib Bin Rashid and Iresh Zaker and it will be available to their subscribers in over 190 countries.

The 50-minute movie is co-presented by Glow & Lovely and can be available for free on the ZEE5 app, and also on www.zee5.com.  

Archana Anand, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 Global, said, “We‘ve been overwhelmed by the response to our first Bangladeshi original, Mainkar Chipay, which received rave reviews by not only people in Bangladesh but in other countries as well. I’m now thrilled to announce another Bangla original WTFry, directed by the very talented Anam Biswas.

A quirky, short format film, WTFry is a fun love story about two very different people who come together, and is sure to be very relatable for the younger audiences who are driving Bangladesh’s massive digital growth.”

‘WTFry’ is an entertaining short film revolving around the lives of a film star Shama and a software developer Bashar. While Shama is an absolute firebrand, intelligent and impulsive; on the other hand, Bashar is a simple, straight-forward, minimalist guy. Shama’s world revolves around social media; Bashar lives rooted in reality. As the completely paradoxical worlds of Shama and Bashar collide, the journey of finding true love in an era of superficiality takes its course, reads a press release.
