The trailer of Jyotika Jyoti starrer 'Maya - The Lost Mother' has been released nearly a week before the Liberation War film is set to hit the theatres on Friday (Dec 27).
Film's online partner G-Series released the trailer on its YouTube channel on Sunday (Dec 23), drawing praise from the movie lovers on video and social media platforms including Facebook.
"It feels good to see the trailer garnering appreciation," Jyotika Jyoti told Bangla Tribune.
“The character represents Bangladesh,” she told the media on Saturday (Dec 21). “It was challenging to play Maya in this experimental film. This role will remain a cherished feather in my cap.”
The actor urged all to go to cinema halls to watch the movie from Dec 27.
Directed by National Award-winning director Masud Pathikm, the film is based on acclaimed artist Shahabuddin’s painting Woman, and Kamal Chowdhury’s poem Juddhoshishu (War baby).
The censor board cleared the 2 hours 3 minutes 7 second long film on Dec 3 nearly three years after it received the government grant.
 
Along with Jyotika Jyoti, Mumtaz Sorcar from Kolkata, Pran Roy, Debashish Kaiser, Syed Hasan Imam, and Jhuna Chowdhury acted in the film.
Jyoti recently starred in Srikanto O Rajlokkhi that played in theatres in Kolkata. The film screened at Bengaluru Film Festival this week to mixed reviews from the audience.
