Yesterday Wednesday night, through some film related pages and groups on Facebook, it is known that a person wearing a lungi went to watch the movie ‘Paran’ at the Sony Cinema Hall in Dhaka.

After the video of such incident was published on Facebook, director Raihan Rafi of Paran movie, hero Shariful Raj, heroine Vidya Sinha Mim and many others got noticed.

Since last night, they have been looking for the man with status on Facebook to watch pictures together. He was found today. His name is Aman Ali. Village house is Sirajganj. He came to visit his son’s house in Mirpur in Dhaka and went to Sony Square. His son Shafi Alam told Prothom Alo, “My father was not given a ticket because he went to the cinema in a lungi.” Why do we wear lungi? My father no longer goes to the cinema hall. If the hero-heroine of the movie “Paran” shows the movie with the father, then go.’
