The “Toofan” director shared the poster with the caption, "Happy Birthday, Megastar Shakib Khan! Hold your breath, ‘Taandob’ is coming!”
Shooting for “Tandob”, directed by Raihan Rafi, has commenced this week at the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC). Actors Shakib Khan and Jaya Ahsan have already joined the production.
Deepto TV has announced a week-long special programme to mark Eid-ul-Fitr, featuring a lineup of Bengali films, including three world premieres.
With Eid-ul-Fitr fast approaching, the Bangladeshi film industry is buzzing with excitement. Audiences are eagerly waiting for the new titles to release, and the promotional whirlwind has already begun.
The Chorki original web-film “Amalnama”, directed by Raihan Rafi, explores familiar yet unseen harsh realities. Its official poster, released on March 3, hints at a narrative involving “crossfire”, “gunfights”, and “extrajudicial killings” subtly woven into the background.
Alongside “Amalnama”, Zahid will also appear in “Utshob”, a film directed by Tanim Noor, set for release this Eid-ul-Azha. Reflecting on his choices, he added, “I don’t take on projects unless I truly like them. After my break, I’ve worked on two projects and enjoyed both. The audience will see me in different roles in these films.”
In the web-film, Tama takes on the role of Parveen, a character that she found deeply immersive. "It took me quite some time to detach myself from Parveen, even after filming ended. For days, I struggled to move on. This character is one of my personal favorites," she revealed.
While the teaser keeps much of the storyline under wraps, Hasan's appearance has led many to speculate that he might be portraying a police officer.
Puja Chery, who rose to fame with Raihan Rafi’s directorial film “Poramon 2”, has made her web-series debut with his latest project, “Black Money”. Released on Bongo, the series has sparked significant buzz online, particularly because of the actress’ performance.
Tama Mirza and Raihan Rafi have delivered hits when they worked together, starting with the web film "Khachar Bhitor Ochin Pakhi" and continuing with the commercial movie "Shurongo". Many movie enthusiasts assumed that the National Award-winning actress would appear in Raihan Rafi’s blockbuster film "Toofan".
The event, titled “Ananda Mela”, stands as the premier gathering for expatriate Bangladeshis in Los Angeles, USA, drawing thousands of Bengalis annually. This vibrant event consistently features performances by an array of Bangladeshi celebrities, who delight the expatriate audience with their captivating performances.
Lyricist Shorif Uddin has expressed his frustration, stating that the song, which he had given to Pritom Hasan two years ago for a personal project, was used in the film without his consent. Additionally, another lyricist was added to the credits without his permission.
The song "Laage Ura Dhura", directed by Raihan Rafi and starring Shakib Khan and Mimi Chakraborty, has achieved significant success, currently trending at number four on the YouTube Charts Global Weekly Top Songs.
The movie stars Shakib Khan alongside India's Mimi Chakraborty and Bangladesh's Nabila, with significant roles played by Chanchal Chowdhury, Fazlur Rahman Babu, Gazi Rakayet, Salauddin Lavlu, and Gausul Alam Shaon.
"Toofan", which broke box office records in Bangladesh, has now been released in India. Rafi emphasised that the film was crafted with a straightforward narrative to resonate with the majority of Bengali viewers — describing it as having a blend of popular elements akin to films like "KGF" and "Pushpa".
Shakib Khan’s “Toofan” was released in 47 theatres, including South City, Star Theater, and Lake Mall in Kolkata, on July 5.
Since its release in Bangladesh, the Shakib Khan starrer film “Toofan” is now creating quite a stir in West Bengal. The excitement was palpable at Thursday night's press conference, where it became evident that the people of West Bengal are keenly interested in the blockbuster.
Raihan Rafi's latest film, “Toofan”, starring Dhallywood’s megastar Shakib Khan, has been creating a buzz in Sydney, Australia. From the first day onward, every showing of the movie played to a full house.
Private TV channel Deepto has announced to host a “Shakib Week” from July 6 to 12, showcasing seven of Shakib Khan’s prominent films. This week-long event highlights the star's extensive filmography, despite no specific occasion prompting the celebration.
