Dhallywood megastar Shakib Khan is set to return to the shooting floor of his much-awaited film ‘Soldier’ after completing his nearly two-month stay in the United States.

Shakib returned to Dhaka on September 1 after leaving for the US on July 2 for personal and business commitments. Following his return, the actor began preparing to resume his film work and was scheduled to join the shooting of Soldier from the following week to complete the remaining portions.

Directed by Shakeeb Fahad, Soldier is an action-oriented film built around themes of patriotism, corruption and human emotion. The film tells the story of an ordinary man’s struggle against corruption and syndicates.

The film stars Shakib Khan alongside Tanjin Tisha and Jannatul Ferdous Oishee. Veteran actors Tariq Anam Khan and Tauquir Ahmed are also part of the cast, with Tauquir set to play a negative role.

For Oishee, Soldier marks her first collaboration with Shakib Khan. She recently said that a considerable portion of the film had already been completed, while some shooting remained. She also noted that she had been preparing for the remaining schedule, including adjustments to her appearance for the character.

Once Soldier is completed, Shakib is expected to move on to his next project, ‘Nissho’, directed by Mehedi Hassan Hridoy. Kolkata actress Idhika Paul is set to star opposite him in the film.

Speaking after his return to Bangladesh, Shakib said his main focus is now on his upcoming film projects. He said he wants to continue working on films with strong stories, characters and overall execution.

With the remaining shooting of Soldier now moving forward, the film is entering the final phase of its production.
