Acclaimed filmmaker Redoan Rony and popular actor Afran Nisho are joining hands for the first time in a new film titled Domm. Inspired by true events, the feature is scheduled to hit theatres during Eid-ul-Fitr next year.
Both Rony and Nisho confirmed their involvement in the much-anticipated project. Describing it as a large-canvas, performance-driven film, the director said Domm is a story he has long wanted to tell. “The film is about a regular man rising against the odds. It’s not just my story — it will inspire audiences too,” said Rony.
Afran Nisho, who earned huge popularity through his films Surongo and Daagi, called Domm a survival and inspirational story unlike anything he has seen in Bangladeshi cinema. “There’s an intensity in the narrative that drew me in. It’s a big challenge and that makes it even more exciting,” he shared.
Interestingly, when the film was first announced in December 2023, actor Chanchal Chowdhury was said to be the lead. Addressing this, Rony confirmed that both Nisho and Chanchal will act together in Domm. “Having both of them onboard is a dream scenario,” said Rony.
Chanchal Chowdhury expressed his excitement too, saying, “Redoan Rony returning to direction is itself a reason to celebrate. The story is remarkable — one I haven’t seen before.”
Produced by SVF Alpha-i Entertainment Limited and Chorki, the film’s casting and location scouting are now at the final stage. Shahriar Shakil, Managing Director of SVF Alpha-i, said, “After Surongo, Toofan, Daagi, and Taandob, the audience now expects powerful storytelling. Domm will deliver just that.”
