Dhaka’s film producers have reached a consensus on the demand for a fair share of revenue from cinema halls. On Wednesday (May 14) afternoon, several producers held a meeting at a restaurant in Gulshan-2 to address this long-standing issue. Photos from the meeting were later shared on social media.

Among the six films released this Eid, “Daagi” marks the silver screen return of Afran Nisho after two years. Since its release on Eid day, the film has been running houseful in cineplexes, with steady audience presence in theatres—much to the delight of the actor and the entire production team.

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.

Alpha i's Managing Director Shahriar Karim Bhuiyan (Shahriar Shakil) has lodged a written complaint seeking resolution with the Television and Digital Program Producers Association of Bangladesh (Telepab) and the Actors Equity.

Hosted by Mousumi Mou, the press conference witnessed the presence of eminent author Anisul Hoque, representatives from Chorki and Alpha-i, along with journalists eager to witness the unveiling of this cinematic powerhouse.

Shahriar Shakil, the film’s producer, confirmed the news to The Daily Star. He is currently in Kolkata, where the movie will premiere later this evening. Raihan Rafi expressed his optimism, hoping that the West Bengal audience will embrace the film as warmly as the audience in Bangladesh has.
