The film “Pinik”, directed by Zahid Jewel, is among the highly anticipated releases this Eid, starring Ador Azad and Bubly. Joining the festive lineup, Shakib Khan, Siam Ahmed and Afran Nisho will also bring their latest project to the audience.

Industry insiders point to one major cause: The reluctance of production companies. In the current political climate, investors are hesitant to back new films. Producers prefer to wait until the situation in the country stabilises before committing to any major projects. 

On August 5, the former prime minister Sheikh Hasina stepped down amid a surging student-led anti-discrimination movement. The shift in power since her ousting has sparked widespread transformations, with people from the entertainment industry not being spared from the turmoil. Many actors, linked to certain political identities, now find themselves in precarious positions. 

The Saikat Nasir directorial was initially released across 16 halls and tells the story of the illegal practice of money laundering.

The crime-thriller was different from the rest of the Eid releases this year, and had the potential to be the biggest hit from this Eid.

Adhora Khan is a promising silver-screen actress of the new generation. As of now, three of her films have already been released.

National Award-winning cinematographer, writer, and director, Saikat Nasir based his film, “Border”, around the lives of the people who reside in the border areas of the country. Recently, the film underwent some changes, being renamed to “Sultanpur” and re-edited to pass the censor board clearance.
