Shakib's 'Toofan' in new complications
Shakib Khan's film 'Toofan' is waiting for release in the upcoming Eid. After the release of the teaser of the movie, there is a lot of buzz about the fake. After this, the domestic producers are complaining that the concerned people have laundered money in the name of movie production. Recently, the leaders of 19 organizations of FDC have publicly spoken against 'Tufan'. There is anger in the film industry. At that time another sensational information was found about the Shakib Khan starrer movie.
According to various sources, the movie with a budget of 8-10 crores has fallen into rental complications. On Wednesday (June 5), the 'Toofan' team sat in a meeting with cinema hall owners, booking agents and officials of a number of rented halls. But many hall booking agents and owners of rented halls expressed their displeasure due to high 'rental' demands. Some came back from the meeting angry.
One of the owners, who did not want to be named, said that we will not run this movie on Eid with more money. If necessary, I will play old movies on Eid. Can they guarantee the money that they are demanding that the movie will do business at all? We need to understand the market and seek rental. Doing this business for years. Nothing is too good.
However, the source also said that most of the hall owners are keen to screen the movie Tufan on Eid. But the owners are bent on demanding additional rental.
Meanwhile, on December 11 last year, it was officially announced at a five-star hotel that the movie 'Toofan' is being made under the banner of three producers. The three production houses are Alpha Eye Studios Limited, OTT platform Charki and SVF, a West Bengal-based production house in India. Raihan Rafi will produce the film. Everything went as advertised.
At this time, all the press releases and news printed around the film, the names of the three producers are everywhere. Everything was fine. But the recently obtained censor clearance shows that only the owner of Alpha Eye Studios Ltd. Shahriar Karim Bhuiyan (Shahriar Shakeel) is named as the producer.
Criticism has already started on the social media. According to critics, Toofan was finally screened as a desi film to avoid restrictions on the release of co-production films during the Eid festival.
Shahriar Karim Bhuiyan said that the production company of Tufan film is Alpha Eye Studios Limited. That is why his name is written in the censor clearance. Because it is a Bangladeshi movie. Apart from this, Charki is a digital partner and SVF International Distributor.
Incidentally, Dhaka's Masuma Rahman Nabila and Kolkata's Mimi Chakraborty have acted opposite Shakib in this action-style movie. The story of Tufan will proceed with the story of the gangster. Shakib Khan will be seen in the role of a gangster of the nineties. Chanchal Chowdhury, Misha Saudagar and many others acted in it. Actor Jesus Sengupta is playing the villain role. Although the matter has not been officially confirmed by the director or the production company.
