For the first time in television history, the film "840" will debut as a drama series. Alongside its theatrical run, audiences will be able to watch the film as an eight-episode-extended series on television — marking a first for simultaneous screening. 

 It will be broadcast on Channel i, Deepto TV, and RTV starting from January 3 and continuing until January 10.

Under the direction of celebrated cultural adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, this film-turned-series will air across different time slots and channels, offering viewers one episode per day.

On Channel i, the series will air at 8:20pm, with a repeat telecast the following day at 12:05pm. On RTV, it will be shown at 8:00pm, with a repeat airing the next morning at 8:00am. Meanwhile, Deepto TV will broadcast it at 10:30pm, with a repeat telecast the following day at 1:30pm.

A few years ago, Mostofa Sarowar Farooki shook the industry with his satirical drama series "420", a bold exploration of the socio-political anomalies plaguing Bangladesh. Now, he returned with "840", also known as Democracy Pvt Ltd., which amplifies the essence of its predecessor with double the depth and wit.

The project has been produced by Nusrat Imrose Tisha, with Faridur Reza Sagar joining as a co-producer. Sheikh Rajibul Islam brought the visuals to life through his cinematography, while Pavel Areen composed the music and Ripon Nath took charge of sound design.
