Actor Ziaul Faruq Apurba and rising star Naznin Nahar Niha teamed up for the first time for a drama. Directed by Jakaria Showkhin and co-written by Showkhin and Nasir Khan, the project is titled "Mon-Duari". The project was filmed over 13 days in locations including Dhaka, Nawabganj, and Rajshahi.

Apurba spoke about the drama and remarked, "Niha has great potential to go far. She's eager to learn and improve her acting skills, which is one of her standout qualities. This quality alone is enough to propel her forward. Niha has performed so exceptionally in this drama that you will need to watch it to believe it."

Niha shared, "I've always wished to act alongside Apurba bhaia, and that vision has now come true. I'm truly happy. Apurba bhaia and Showkhin bhaia have been supportive throughout the project. I gave the project my all."

Director Jakaria Showkhin, explained, "Valentine's Day special releases are usually made in a similar style, but the story of our project is entirely unique. That's all I can say for now. Once one watches it, they'll get proof."

The drama "Mon-Duari" revolves around family dynamics amid a love story. In the plot, Apurba's character returns home from New York to take his grandmother, but family tensions arise. During this time, he meets the charming and mischievous character played by Niha. 

As their relationship grows, love gradually blossoms between them. Niha's character, with her sweet nature, unlocks the depths of the heart of the main man, leading him to call her "Mon-Duari", meaning the key to his soul. 

In addition to Apurba and Niha, the play also features performances by Dilara Zaman, Aminur Rahman Bachchu, Shafiul Alam Babu, Mili Munshi, Sharmin Sultana Shormi, and Raisa.
