We all know Ananta Jalil as the hot-blooded action hero who can defy the impossible. After a long break from films, he has resurfaced himself as someone quite different from our established image of him. Recently, he was seen as a part of a mass prayer event in a Dhanmondi mosque. He has also been seen preaching Islam to an open crowd of fans in Dhanmondi's Rabindra Sarobar. This sudden change of Ananta Jalil has been noticed worldwide, and has been extensively covered by international news networks such as Daily Mail, AFP and Arab News. This transformation from a movie superstar to a devout follower of Islam was posted by Ananta Jalil himself in his Facebook page. During an interview with AFP, he stated, “Allah has created us all. I want to express my gratitude to Him.” He also added, “If I am successful in preaching Islam to the younger generations, they will surely benefit from it.”
