Mosharraf Karim takes the spotlight in the latest episode of ‘Dui Shaw’, premiering tonight

A frequently asked question about astrologers is, "Why can't they predict their own fate?" This intriguing query is explored in the latest episode of Dui Shaw, titled Bhaggo Bhalo. Starring Mosharraf Karim as an astrologer, the episode delves into the mystery through compelling dialogues and visuals. In one scene, Karim's character explains, "One cannot see their own destiny. It's forbidden." Another line reveals the astrologer's tendency to "gamble with fate." These snippets from the trailer have sparked audience curiosity about the episode, which premieres on Christmas Day (December 25) at 12:00 am on Chorki.

In the episode, Karim portrays an astrologer calculating others' destinies, equipped with a magnifying glass and accompanied by a bird. Directed by Nuhash Humayun, the story follows the astrologer as he unexpectedly goes viral. The cast also includes Jebunessa Sobhan, Adnan Adib Khan, and Samia Othoi. Nuhash describes Dui Shaw as a series that examines contemporary societal fears, a theme central to Bhaggo Bhalo.

Reflecting on the shoot, Nuhash shared, "We filmed during July-August. At one point, we noticed smoke rising in the distance and decided to incorporate it into the scene. The fears in this story reflect real-life anxieties, which we’ve woven into the narrative to evoke a sense of psychological horror."

This is Mosharraf Karim's first collaboration with Nuhash. The actor was drawn to the role by its compelling and unique story. "When I heard the story, I knew I had to be part of it," Karim said. "It was challenging because of its distinct tone, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My character, an astrologer living in a slum, embarks on a forbidden journey influenced by the seven sins. I hope the audience finds it as intriguing as I did."

The Dui Shaw series, a follow-up to Pett Kata Shaw, comprises four stories, three of which were co-written by Nuhash and his mother, Gultekin Khan. The first episode, Waqt, is already available on Chorki, while upcoming episodes Ontora and Beshura are eagerly anticipated. According to Nuhash, Ontora offers a supernatural take on married life, while Beshura tells the story of an artist born without melody.
