Shafin Ahmed, the vocal of iconic Bangla rock band Miles, is all set to make his acting debut. The singer, who presented legions of fans with numerous hit songs, will turn a criminal investigator in upcoming television series “Midnight Falcon”.

With Tarique Muhammad Hasan as the writer and director, the series will go on floor in the last week of January.

The story encircles Sayem, to be played by Shafin, a mysterious character who sings and organises musical shows by day and turns criminal investigator by night.  

Aside from being the centre of attraction, Shafin Ahmed will also sing the title track of the series.

Moreover, the audience will hear some hit songs performed by Shafin. And chances are high that Miles will make an appearance in the serial to make it more realistic.

Making the announcement on Thursday at Edge Water Restaurant in the capital, Shafin said, “It's a challenge for me, as I never thought I would stand in front of camera as an actor. I prefer to work in my own way and I believe I will make this serial a success. It will surprise my fans and they will see a different Shafin Ahmed.”

“Many directors came to me with proposals but acting never lured me, but when Tarique came to me with the script I changed my mind. And after giving it a read I thought the role would fit me. Then I asked Tarique to change the script so that it suited me better, and finally I agreed to act in the series.”
