Bangladesh bans Irrfan Khan-starrer ‘No Bed of Roses’

Bangladeshi filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki’s “No Bed of Roses”, starring and co-produced by Indian actor Irrfan Khan, has been effectively banned in Bangladesh.

Speculation has been rife in the Bangladeshi and Indian media that the film is a biopic loosely based on late Bangladeshi writer and filmmaker Humayun Ahmed who divorced his wife of 27 years and married an actress 33 years his junior.

Farooki has denied that the film is a biopic.

According to Variety, the film begins with a disclaimer that the film has no resemblance to any real life characters alive or dead. Irrfan plays a filmmaker named Javed Hasan who leaves his wife and marries an actress who was his daughter’s classmate in school.
