Shahid Hasan (born 4 January 1966), known by professionally as Misha Sawdagor, is a Bangladeshi film actor known for playing villains. As of 2020, according to him, he has performed in more than 700 films. He won Bangladesh National Film Awards 3 times for his roles in the films Boss Number One (2011), Olpo Olpo Premer Golpo (2014) and Bir (2020). He first got noticed as a villain in the 1995 film Asha Bhalobasha starring Salman Shah. After Shah's death, he continued playing the villain opposite other actors, but failed to achieve any mainstream success or recognition. From 2006 onwards he started playing the main antagonist in a long string of hit movies starring Shakib Khan in the lead role and mostly Apu Biswas as the lead actress, and established himself as a leading antagonist in the Cinema of Bangladesh.

## Early life

Shahid Hasan was born on 4 January 1966 in Old Dhaka, the fourth of five children of Bilkis Rashida and Osman Gani.
Sawdagor was discovered through a talent hunt programme organized by the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation in 1986 to find new faces. He selected the stage name "Misha Sawdagor", constructed from the first letters of his wife's name, Mita, and those of his name, combined with his grandfather's last name, Sawdagor.

Misha Sawdagor was selected in the New Face Program organized by the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC) in 1986. In 1990, he acted as the lead hero in two films named Chetona and Omor Shongi both are directed by Chhatku Ahmed, but both the films were not successful. His career took off after he played the villain role in Tamij Uddin Rizvi's 1995 film Asha Bhalobasha. However, Jachche Bhalobasha (1994) was his first release as a villain. In 1999, he collaborate with Shakib Khan for the first time in Sohanur Rahman Sohan's romance drama Ananta Bhalobasha. His collaboration with Shakib Khan as a villain is considered one of the greatest hero-villain pairings in the history of Bangladeshi cinema. In 2011, he earned his first National Film Award for his negative role with Badiul Alam Khokon's Ontari (2008) remake Boss Number One.
