‘Sher Khan’ rumours finally addressed

After announcing a film with Raihan Rafi, Shakib was rumoured to star in another film which is a cop action thriller titled ‘Sher Khan.’ The Dhallywood superstar took to his verified Facebook fan page and announced that he officially signed the deal for the film on Thursday evening and will start production in February.

‘Sher Khan’ will be directed by ‘Mission Extreme’ famed director Sunny Sanwar. Shakib posted the photo of the deal signing with Sunny on Thursday. He will be playing the role of a police officer in the film.

The project is set to release in 2023 and will be a joint production between Shakib’s SK Films and Sunny’s Cop Creation.

After the contract signing ceremony, director Sunny told the press, “Along with police action ‘Sher Khan’ will also have suspense, thrill and drama, as well as an unknown crime ring outside Dhaka, will come up. The entire movie will have an advanced technical system.”

“Shakib Khan’s huge fan base has long wanted to see him on screen in a different way. My analysis is that ‘Sher Khan’ can be the perfect movie to satisfy their hunger,” he added.

Apart from Shakib Khan in the titular role, other characters in the film are also very important, explained Sunny Sanwar, who is also the SP of Bangladesh Police’s Anti-Terrorism Unit.

Sunny did not want to disclose the names of the other cast members and said it will be a big-budget project with a huge arrangement.

Shakib said, “Sher Khan’s story has humanity, administration, patriotism, crime-suspense everything altogether. Moreover, I have seen in the light of my long experience, sometimes the story is very weak in action-based movies. But Sher Khan’s strongest point is its brilliant story. All in all, I hope ‘Sher Khan’ is going to be a very enjoyable movie.”
