Omar Rahim is currently acting in a film entitled Meherjaan in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Meherjaan is set in 1971 when East Pakistan’s simmering discontentment resulted in a bloody revolutionary war that resulted in the creation of Bangladesh. In the backdrop of war, the film tells multiple stories of love, responsibility to self/state and revenge, mining narratives based on true stories that have been marginalized from the general discourse on the period. The film should premiere in Winter 2009.
