The mystery surrounding the starring actress alongside Shakib Khan in the upcoming movie “Toofan” has finally been revealed, after much speculation. The female leads for this eagerly awaited project have been confirmed as Mimi Chakraborty, who is from Epar Bangla, and Nabila, who is from Bangladesh.

Toofan, a film directed by Raihan Rafi and produced by Alpha-i, Chorki, and SVF, caused waves last year when it was first announced. The female lead was first kept a secret.

“It’s always a pleasure for me. It’s also quite thrilling to share the screen with Bangladeshi superstar Shakib Khan for the first time. Three production giants from both countries—Alpha-i, Chorki, and SVF—collaborating is something to be excited about. I can’t wait to wow the audience with something truly special” said Mimi Chakraborty.

Nabila, who made a mark with Ayanabaji, promises to leave an enduring impression on audiences with Toofan. When Nabila thought back on her comeback to the big screen, she said, “It feels good to be working again and to be going back to the big screen after a long break. Our current priorities are making sure that everything runs well from production to audience response”.

Representatives from the three production companies—Mahendra Soni, Shahriar Shakil, and Redwan Roni—echoed similar feelings when they said they were happy to cast Mimi and Nabila. They highlighted how well-liked Mimi is in Bengal and how the crowd has a special bond with Nabila. They anticipate a cinematic storm because they think these two actresses’ pairing with Shakib Khan would enthrall viewers from both Bengals.
