Abu Nur Muhammad Ehteshamul Haq (1927 – 17 February 2002), known as Ehtesham, was a Bangladeshi and Pakistani film director. On his death in 2002 he was described as a pioneer of the film industry in Dhaka, and one of Bangladesh's leading directors.[1]
Ehtesham first became a film cinema distributor in 1950. He was credited with the discovery of many noted actors.[1] In 1956 he began his first film, Ae Desh Tomar Amar ("This country is yours and mine"), which marked the first film acting appearance for both Subhash Dutta[2] and Shabnam.[3] He made successful films in Urdu and then, after the independence of Bangladesh, in Bengali. Another discovery was actor Nadeem, who later married Ehtesham's daughter.[1] Ehtesham directed Nadeem and actress Shabana in Nadeem's debut (and Shabana's first Urdu film) Chakori in 1967.[4][5]
