Chanchal, Farhana Mili reunite on screen after 18 years?

Nearly 18 years after the release of “Monpura”, actors Chanchal Chowdhury and Farhana Mili may reunite on screen in filmmaker Giasuddin Selim’s upcoming film “Rakhal”.

Details about the film’s storyline, characters and other cast members have yet to be disclosed. However, the possibility of seeing the popular “Monpura” pair together again has already generated excitement among audiences.

According to sources involved in the production, Chanchal Chowdhury has set aside time next year for the film’s shooting. The director has begun preparations, keeping the actor at the centre of the project. Preliminary work on the film is also underway.

Meanwhile, rumours suggest that actress Pori Moni may also be part of “Rakhal”. However, no official announcement has been made regarding her involvement.

Amid the speculation, Chanchal recently took a trip down memory lane by sharing a post about “Monpura” on social media. The actor released several photographs featuring members of his and Farhana Mili’s families, highlighting the contrast between the fictional lives of Shonai and Pori and the real-life experiences of the two actors. 

Reflecting on the film's emotional impact, Chanchal wrote that the tragic separation of Shonai and Pori, followed by Pori’s death, had left many viewers in tears. He recalled how countless young men and women had lamented the fact that the beloved on-screen couple never got their happy ending.
