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.
After the massive success of “Toofan” in theatres, Raihan Rafi has joined forces with Bongo to create a new web-series titled “Black Money”.
From metro stations to billboards, “Toofan” posters are prominently displayed throughout Kolkata. Industry insiders are optimistic that the film will replicate its success in Bangladesh and achieve similar acclaim in India.
Directed by Raihan Rafi, the movie has opened to enthusiastic audiences, with ten theatres reporting sold-out shows on its first day in the US. The film is being shown in 22 theatres across 12 states, including two theaters in New York City, and will continue its run for a week. Bioscope Films is handling the distribution in the US and Canada.
The production house also shared that "Toofan” will be running in 22 theatres in America this week. However, the number of theatres will exceed 50 by July 12.
The Shakib Khan starrer latest Eid release, “Toofan”, has captivated audiences and reached unprecedented popularity. The film accumulated significant attention both locally and internationally. The Dhallywood superstar is now in high demand across various media outlets. Recently, he participated in an exclusive interview with the Indian Express, delving into his distinguished career and offering insights on a range of subjects.
After its regional success, with local theatres extending their shows to manage the immense audience the film is drawing, "Toofan" is poised to captivate audiences in West Bengal, India.
Several movies, songs, and OTT content have hit the screens and digital platforms during Eid ul-Azha, garnering significant attention and applause from audiences. Among them, the spotlight has prominently shone on the movie "Toofan", directed by Raihan Rafi.
Today, the much awaited Shakib Khan starrer ‘’Toofan” finally arrived in cinemas. 123 halls are screening the Raihan Rafi directorial project.
The trailer opens with a chilling voiceover from Chanchal Chowdhury, describing the titular character, Toofan, with the lines: "He is not humane, he is not savage either, Toofan is what he wanted to be…monster (rakkhosh)." This sets the tone for the dark and intense journey of Toofan, portrayed by Shakib Khan, from his adolescence to his rise as a notorious national-level criminal.
The release of the energetic title track of “Toofan” (titled after the film) several days ago, amped up its reception across social media platforms almost immediately. Notably, Tahsan Shuvo, the man behind many title tracks for Bengali films, was also the one who penned the lyrics of the song.
