Indian actor Irrfan Khan-starrer Doob - No Bed of Roses, which was once banned in Bangladesh, has been chosen as the country's official entry for the Academy Awards 2019. The Bangladesh Oscar Committee chose the movie as the entry for the best foreign language film category, reports variety.com.

Doob stars Irrfan -- also its co-producer -- as a successful filmmaker facing a midlife crisis when he has a tryst with his daughter's childhood friend, causing a national scandal. The India-Bangladesh co-production, written and directed by Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, features Rokeya Prachi as Irrfan's wife, while Nusrat Imrose Tisha plays the daughter and Indian actress Parno Mittra plays her childhood friend.
