In his 26-year career, Shakib has worked in Bangladeshi cinema for nearly two decades. After the COVID-19 pandemic, audiences began to see him in a new light. Some even call him “Shakib Khan 2.0.”
Her character is Alma, a philosophy professor at Yale University. Striding regally around its leafy quadrangles in a chic white suit that matches her blonde hair, this combatively intelligent alpha female is adored by everyone who knows her. Her husband Frederik (Michael Stuhlbarg) is resigned to the fact that he loves her more than she loves him, and is willing to make whimsical jokes about the imbalance; Hank (Andrew Garfield), a would-be rebellious friend and colleague, is even more flirtatious with her than he is with everyone else; and her favourite PhD student, Maggie (Ayo Edebiri), worships her – which could explain why she is Alma's favourite PhD student.
For the first time, production company Creative Land is producing a film featuring Shakib Khan. The film is produced by Shirin Sultana and directed by Abu Hayat Mahmud.
Receiving the accolade, Milon expressed heartfelt gratitude: "I feel truly privileged. But this honour is not mine alone — it belongs to every member of the Los Angeles Acting Academy. Without their support, this achievement would not have been possible. I remain deeply thankful to the Church of Scientology for recognising my efforts with such a prestigious award."
Tanjin Tisha is excited about the project she said, “I will play the role of Rupa in ‘Khoabnama’. I liked the story after reading it for the first time. The graph of the character of Rupa was very unpredictable. So the performance was also challenging. Here, the audience will get a magical story with Vicky bhaiya’s signature twist. I hope the audience will like Khoabnama very much.”
With an innocent charm and a natural smile, Shakil became the perfect fit for romantic roles. His on-screen chemistry with actresses like Shabnur, Purnima, Moushumi, and Poppy delivered some of the era’s most memorable pairings.
For many, the show was not just a competition, but the first step towards lifelong artistic careers.
“I urge viewers to watch this film. I believe they won’t be disappointed. The initial response has been quite promising. I’m hopeful and waiting to hear more positive news.”
