After months of speculation, it has finally been confirmed that Dhallywood superstar Shakib Khan is reuniting with Real Energy Productions for a brand-new film.

Shakib confirmed the news on Thursday evening through a Facebook post, sharing a photo with the filmmakers. “The Borbaad team is returning again. Let’s make another history,” he wrote.

Director Mehedi Hassan Hridoy also confirmed the development, revealing that Shakib Khan officially signed the contract for the new project on Thursday afternoon.

“A little while ago, Shakib bhai signed a contract with us for a new film. The title and the rest of the cast have not been finalised yet," Hridoy said.

He clarified that the upcoming film is not a sequel to any of his previous works. “This is a completely new story. It is an action thriller with no political backdrop. I can only say that the audience will experience something entirely new," the director added.

According to the filmmaker, shooting is scheduled to begin at the end of November this year. The production will be filmed extensively both in Bangladesh and overseas.
