Dhallywood superstar Shakib Khan has officially signed for his next big project, ‘Nissho ’, which is already being called one of the most anticipated films of Eid-ul-Fitr 2027 by fans. The announcement comes as the actor reunites with director Mehedi Hassan Hridoy, whose previous collaboration with Shakib produced one of the biggest commercial hits in recent Bangladeshi cinema.
Reunion based on the success of ‘Borbaad’
Shakib Khan and Hridoy’s pairing is not new. Their last film together, Borbaad, released during Eid last year, soon became the talk of the industry. The producers said it had made more than Tk 75 crore, making it one of the highest-grossing Bangladeshi movies in recent times. It seems that success has been the motivation behind reuniting the same team for ‘Nissho’, with producer Shahrin Sultana Sumi also on board.
“Nissho” is a Japanese film. Nissho’ is described as an action-romance revenge drama, a genre-mix that is quite similar to the tone that worked so well for ‘Borbaad.’ While full plot details have yet to be revealed, the announcement suggests the film will lean into the high-stakes, emotionally charged storytelling that has become something of a signature for the Shakib-Hridoy pairing.
Casting and filming schedule
One of the most talked-about casting decisions is still up in the air, as the film’s leading actress has yet to be confirmed. The shooting is confirmed to be in October, and production will go on the floors in October. Shakib Khan had already made his commitment to the project clear after signing up, when he flew to the United States on July 2 and posted a group photo on social media with the film’s director and producer.

This is part of Shakib’s busy schedule
Shakib Khan is currently busy as his latest theatrical release ‘Rockstar’ came out on Eid-ul-Azha and later on Chorki. He has also been at the centre of a crowded Eid release calendar this year with his movie ‘Prince: Once Upon a Time in Dhaka’ being one of over a dozen movies vying for viewers. With his name popping up in Dhallywood’s biggest release windows so often, ‘Nissho’ adds yet another high-profile project to the already packed lineup for Dhallywood’s most bankable star.
Separating Fact from Fiction
The announcement follows another round of unconfirmed reports earlier this year that Shakib Khan would be seen in another Eid-ul-Fitr 2027 project, a rumoured Bangladesh-India joint production. Industry sources dismissed the claims as baseless, with reports indicating that Shakib did not agree to or schedule any such film. Meanwhile, confirmed details about “Nissho” are coming from the actor’s own social media activity and from people involved with the project, giving fans much more concrete ground to anticipate.
‘Nissho’ has a long way to go before it hits the theatres. Shooting is expected to begin in October, and an Eid-ul-Fitr 2027 release is being eyed. As production heats up in the coming months, we can expect a steady stream of first-look posters, casting announcements and more story details that will keep the film in the limelight of Dhallywood’s biggest star for the next several months.
Summary: Shakib Khan is reuniting with Borbaad director Mehedi Hassan Hridoy for an action-romance revenge drama titled Nissho. The film is scheduled for an Eid-ul-Fitr 2027 release, with shooting slated to begin in October. Nissho and Mark
