"Taandob", directed by Raihan Rafi, marks Sabila Nur's debut in commercial cinema and her first collaboration with Shakib Khan. The pair appeared in two trending music videos—"Lichur Bagane" and "Tomake Bhalobese Jete Chai". Audiences praised the on-screen chemistry, choreography, and vibrant presentation of "Lichur Bagane", although opinions were divided on social media.

Speaking to the media, Sabila said, "This is my first time acting with a megastar like Shakib Khan, that too under the direction of Raihan Rafi. It's also the first time I've danced in a film like this. Everyone dreams of working with a megastar, and I've had that chance. I couldn't have asked for a better team."

Tasnia Farin made her commercial film debut with "Insaaf", directed by Sanjoy Somadder. She portrays a police officer named Jahan Khan, opposite Sariful Razz.

Farin and Razz's dance number in "Akashete Lokkho Tara 2.0" has also been well received.

Speaking of the experience, Farin stated, "I love taking on new challenges, and 'Insaaf' was one of them. Audiences will understand the importance of strong female leads in commercial cinema after watching this. I've always wanted to do something different, and this film felt like a step in the right direction."
