Hason Raja (English: The Ruthless King) is an upcoming Bangladeshi feature film directed by renowned British Bengali filmmaker Ruhul Amin, starring Mithun Chakraborty along with Raima Sen.
The first look of the film was launched on 28 February 2017.
The film is about Hason Raja, a flamboyant, ruthless zamindar from Sylhet who fell in love with Dilaram, who transformed him and later he became a poet, singing songs and wandering all across Bangladesh. Hinduism, Buddhism and Sufism have influenced his songs. He was the inspiration to the Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore who had mentioned about Hason Raja at several conferences worldwide and he remains one of the greatest and most powerful icons of Bengali culture today.
Fascinated by the legend of Hason Raja, UK-based director Ruhul Amin wished to make it as a feature film. With more than 15 documentaries and feature films for BBC behind him, Ruhul wanted Mithun Chakraborty as Hason Raja and Raima Sen as Hason Raja’s muse, Dilaram. Ruhul met Mithun in 2007 itself and finalized the title role, while Raima agreed to be a part of the film a year later. As Ruhul could n't find a producer for the project from the year 2003, his friends and the Bangladeshi community based at England came forward to fund the film and officially it went to floors on February 22, 2011.
The music composed by Bappi Lahiri and Debojyoti Mishra. The background music of the film is also done by Debojyoti Mishra.
