Whenever Raihan Rafi launches a new film, surprises are inevitable. Staying true to his reputation, the director is currently shooting "Taandob" with superstar Shakib Khan and popular actress Sabila Nur — a casting choice that few had seen coming. Despite efforts to maintain secrecy surrounding the leading actress, fans were quick to uncover Sabila's involvement.

Now, veteran actor and filmmaker Afzal Hossain is joining the cast and  sharing the screen with Shakib Khan for the first time. In "Taandob", Afzal Hossain will portray the head of the elite police unit, SWAT.

Production on "Taandob" is already well underway, with nearly 70 percent of the filming completed.

Speaking to the media, Rafi revealed that this project is even more demanding than his previous blockbuster "Toofan". "To protect the film's confidentiality, strict measures have been imposed on set, including a ban on mobile phones and restricted access for outsiders. Nevertheless, a few leaks have managed to slip through."

Rafi also hinted that foreign fight directors and technicians have been enlisted to elevate the action sequences, although he remains tight-lipped about the specifics. For now, he promises that "Taandob" will deliver an array of unexpected surprises.
