Career
In April 2013, Rahman began shooting for TV a script he coauthored with Shimon Mahmud. The action story drama serial, tentatively titled Gangster, starred Ziaul Faruq Apurba, was being produced by Intract Film and Media, and was planned to be broadcast on satellite channel Asian TV.[1] When Asian TV saw clips of the first phase of shooting, they suggested it be made as a movie instead, produced jointly by Asian TV and Saiful Azim.[2] By November, the project was retitled Gangster Returns.[3]
Meanwhile Rahman began shooting action film Kistimaat, which was released in 2014.[4] Gangster Returns eventually released on 27 November 2015.[5]
Rahman's third film, which he also wrote, is action thriller Musafir.[6] It released on 22 April 2016, and was well received by audiences. Fahmim Ferdous of The Daily Star praised the attempt to tell an original story, the dialog, and cinematography, but found that some scenes were unnecessary, and the plot didn't entirely hold together. He wrote, "Ashiqur Rahman has shown promise, and one can only hope he gets better."[7] The Rahman-directed short musical film Sarangshe Tumi also premiered in April.[8][9] After four years away from TV production, Rahman directed the action drama Princess for Asian TV.[10] Late in 2016, he was filming Operation Agneepath.[11]
