Entertainment Desk:

After a successful run at the local box office, Shakib Khan’s film “Borbaad” has been released in the United States, Canada, Australia, Italy, New Zealand, and Denmark. Now, the film is set for release in the Middle East, allowing audiences in the region to experience it on the big screen.

According to sources, “Borbad” will hit theatres in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain on May 15. The film is being distributed in the region by PHF.

Producer Shaharin Akter Sumi noted that “Borbaad” marks the first time a Bangladeshi film is being distributed by PHF.

“Releasing a film in the Middle East requires going through censorship in each country, which takes time. We needed some time to coordinate everything,” she said. “There is a large Bangladeshi community in the Middle East, along with Indian audiences. We hope they will go to the theatres to watch ‘Borbaad’.”

Directed by Mehedi Hasan Hridoy, “Borbaad” stars Shakib Khan alongside Kolkata-based actress Idhika Paul. The cast also includes Misha Sawdagor, Jisshu Sengupta, and Mamunur Rashid.
