Misha Sawdagor
Shahid Hasan Misha, but everyone calls him Misha Shawdagor—he’s basically a legend in the Bangladeshi film scene. The man’s been in over 800 films. Yeah, you read that right. Eight. Hundred. At first, he was chasing hero roles, probably thinking he'd be the next big romantic superstar or whatever. He even won that "actor hunt" thing at BFDC back in ’86. Total golden ticket moment.
So he grabs his first leading gig in Chhotku Ahmed’s Chetona in 1990. Not gonna lie, expectations were high. He gave the hero thing another shot in Omorshongi, but, eh, let’s just say the audience wasn’t buying it. It happens. Sometimes the hero cape just doesn’t fit, you know? The directors, not exactly subtle, basically nudged him toward playing villains. And man, did he run with it.
In 1994, he shows up in Jachche Bhalobasha as the bad guy, and suddenly, it clicks. People love to hate him. He’s got that sneer, that swagger—he just owns the screen. After that, it’s like every film wanted a piece of Misha the villain. He’s not just another face in the crowd; he’s the dude you remember when you leave the theater. The guy pretty much redefined what it means to be a movie villain in Dhallywood. And honestly, who remembers the hero when the villain is this good?
