Kolkata/IBNS: Bengali actress Mimi Chakraborty is set to star alongside Bangladeshi actor Shakib Khan in the upcoming film, Toofan.

Apart from Mimi, Bangladeshi actress Nabila also features in the lead.

Directed by Raihan Rafi and produced by Alpha-i, Chorki, and SVF, Toofan made headlines last year during its grand announcement, initially revealing the male protagonist but keeping the female lead under wraps.

Expressing her enthusiasm, Mimi conveyed her excitement stating, "Having almost ventured into Bangladesh on numerous occasions, be it for work or leisure, it's always a pleasure for me. Moreover, sharing the screen with Bangladeshi superstar Shakib Khan for the first time is truly exhilarating.

"The collaboration of three production powerhouses Alpha-i, Chorki, and SVF from both countries is something to look forward to. I'm eagerly anticipating delivering something exceptional for the audience."

Nabila, who left an indelible mark on audiences with Ayanabaji, makes a comeback after a hiatus with Toofan.

Reflecting on her return to the silver screen, Nabila expressed, "There's a sense of joy in getting back to work, coupled with the excitement of returning to the big screen after a prolonged absence.

"Now, our focus lies on ensuring a seamless journey from production to audience reception."
