Salman Shah —- the name evoked an era in the Bangladeshi filmdom. In the early 1990s when the country’s film industry remained stagnant and when vulgarism and weak-script movies ruled the industry, Salman Shah entered the film industry in a spirit vibrant with promise. The ailing film industry witnessed a real romantic hero and welcomed a new era in the romantic film genre with his appearance.
It was back in 1993, that film buffs for the first time observed the superstar of modern Bengali films, Salman Shah, with the blockbuster Keyamat Thekey Keyamat. Directed by Sohanur Rahman Sohan, the film was the remake of the Indian blockbuster Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. In his debut movie, Salman earned a niche through his mesmerising performance and quality acting skills and soon he turned into a heartthrob of the young film connoisseurs. The pair Salman Shah and Moushumi were treated as the most popular team after Razzak-Kabori, right after the release of the film.
Salman Shah, which is actually a pseudonym of Shahriar Chowdhury Imon, started his acting career in TV drama. However, he came to the limelight through his first film. Apart from Keyamat Thekey Keyamat, in his short span of film career he also acted in another hit 18 movies. His on-screen chemistry with his first heroine Moushumi and then Shabnur were the most wanted silver screen couples of that time.
Den Mohar, Antorey Antorey, Sneho,Tomakey Chai, Swapner Thikana, Swapner Prithibi, Bichar Hobey, Mayer Adhikar are among the few hit films in which Salman Shah played the lead role.
But, unfortunately, the country’s film industry observed the most shocking day on September 6, 1996 with the untimely demise of its talented actor Salman Shah, who was in fact at the pinnacle of his career at the time. Since his death nine years have been passed, but the industry, his fans and friends still yearn for the superstar.
