After quite some time, Dhallywood actress Airin Sultana is returning to the screen — this time performing in an item song. Interestingly, the song is not part of a film but features in a television drama.

From 1 November, private television channel Baishakhi TV will begin airing the new drama serial “Moholla.”

As part of the storyline, the serial includes an item song titled “Tanpura,” performed by Airin Sultana. The song has been sung, composed and arranged by CloseUp One star Muhin, with lyrics written by Bidyut Roy.

The drama features a diverse cast, including Zaher Alvi, Iffat Ara Tithi, Abdullah Rana, Roki Khan, Masud Mohiuddin, Reshmi Ahmed, Shahid Un Nabi, Tanmay Sohel, Siam Mridha, Siam Nasir, Ashraful Alam Sohag, Tanvir Rahi and Anubhav Mahbub, among others.

Directed by Faridul Hasan, the drama explores the dynamics of life in a neighbourhood. “It’s a story about the good and bad within a community,” said the director. “Through humour, we’ve depicted the everyday happenings in urban neighbourhoods of Dhaka — stories people can easily relate to.”

The serial “Moholla” will air every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday at 8:40 pm on Baishakhi TV starting from 1 November.
