First look of Shakib Khan's ‘Borbaad’ to be revealed today

Mehedi Hassan Hridoy, known for directing over 100 television dramas, has remained tight-lipped about specific plot details. However, insider sources have revealed that 80% of the film will be shot abroad, featuring high-octane stunts choreographed by Bollywood and Telugu cinema veteran Ravi Varma.

Shakib Khan, who has become increasingly selective post-pandemic, signed onto the project in October last year. Principal photography is set to begin this October. Industry insiders are already calling "Borbaad" a potential game-changer, poised to elevate the standards of Bangladeshi action films to new heights.

Alongside Shakib Khan, the cast includes well-known actors like Idhika Paul, Jishu Sengupta, Manav Sachdev, and Misha Sawdagar, representing both Bangladeshi and Indian film industries.
