Known for his much-admired dramas such as 'Bachelor Point' and 'Hotel Relax', Ome is making a strong return to the entertainment sphere by joining forces with the popular streaming platform, Bongo BD. The prolific director will be spearheading a web-series and a web-film under Bongo BD's banner, marking a new chapter in his distinguished career. This exciting development was revealed during a recent celebratory event and was solidified with a formal announcement.
The announcement event held on May 26th served as the platform for disclosing Ome's upcoming endeavors. With the attendance of Bongo BD's Chief Content Officer, Mushfiqur Rahman, and several other eminent figures from the platform, the event was nothing short of a grand affair. Two major projects were unveiled; a web-series titled 'Underworld' and a web-film christened 'Oshomoy', both promising to add fresh narratives to the director's repertoire.
After the contract for the new content was signed and sealed, Mushfiqur Rahman expressed his thoughts on the current local viewership landscape.

Meanwhile, Ome shared his enthusiasm for his new ventures, stating that casting for both the web-series and web-film will conclude soon, with shooting to commence shortly after.
