Career

[edit]

Rahman made his debut in Ehtesham's 1959 Bengali film Ei Desh Tomar Amar, as a supporting actor in a negative role. He then acted as the lead actor in Rajdhanir Buke, along with Chitra Sinha, also directed by Ehtesham.[4] He then performed in Harano Din (1960), Joar Bhata (1965), Notun Sur, Eai To Jiban, and Antaranga, along with Shabnam and Suchanda.[4] He performed in other films including the Urdu films Chanda, Uttaran, Talash, Preet Na Jane Reet, Milan, Gori, Jaan Baje Shehnai, Bahana, Darshan, Kangan, Piyasa, Eindhan, and Chalo Maan Gaye. He acted with actress Shabnam in most films.[1]

Rahman was injured in a road accident on the way back from shooting the film Preet Na Jane Reet (1963).[4] He lost one leg afterwards.[4]

After the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, Rahman continued his film career in Pakistan, acting in the films Dosti, Nadan, Chahat, Do Sathi, Milan, Doraha, Lagan, Tum Salamat Raho, Dhamaka, Do Tasweerein, and 100 Rifles. Later, he returned to Dhaka and renewed his acting career.[1] He then acted in the Bangla films Angshider, Devdas, Ghor Bhanga Shongshar, and Pahari Phul. His last acted film,[when?] Aamar Shongshar, was directed by Ashok Ghosh.[1]
