You haven’t seen even 25% of ‘Rakkhosh’ yet: Siam Ahmed
As Eid-ul-Fitr approaches, actor Siam Ahmed finds himself once again at the centre of audience anticipation with his upcoming film “Rakkhosh”. After the trailer sparked strong reactions online, the actor expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response while hinting that the film still holds many undiscovered layers for viewers. The film is directed by Mehedi Hasan Hridoy.
Reacting to the response, Siam said he is overwhelmed by the love. “I’m seeing all the appreciation very positively. I’m grateful to everyone. But I can say this much — audiences haven’t even seen twenty-five percent of ‘Rakkhosh’ yet. There are many surprises waiting. They will discover them once they watch the film in theatres.”

When asked about the film’s genre, Siam revealed that “Rakkhosh” is essentially a romantic story. “That’s another surprise of the film. People are making different assumptions — some think it’s an action film, while others are interpreting it in various ways. All the reactions are positive, but I would say it is a romantic film,” he said.
He added with a smile, “Many great wars in the world have happened because of romance. After watching Rakkhosh, audiences will understand that.”
Siam believes the film will be a beautiful Eid gift for audiences. “During Eid, viewers will be able to enjoy a good film. It’s a complete entertainment package.”
Addressing his fans, Siam reflected on the journey of his career. “When ‘Poramon 2’ was made, I was not a recognised face. It was the audience who brought me forward, showered me with love, and stood beside me in every success. I’ve always received their support whenever my films were released. I hope I will receive the same love for ‘Rakkhosh’ as well.”
Siam also revealed that he shot action sequences consecutively for ten days for the film. The fight choreography was handled by renowned Mumbai-based action director Ejaz Master.
“Missing even a single day of shooting abroad means huge financial loss for the producer and director. So we kept going. During those days I got cuts and bruises and felt a lot of pain, but I never skipped a shoot. Instead, I kept preparing for the next scene. After the shoot, the way Ejaz Master and his team appreciated the effort is something I will never forget.”
Asked how excited he feels about the film, Siam replied, “I’m very excited. We worked on this project for a long time and put in a lot of hard work.”
Before the trailer’s release, he admitted he kept wondering how audiences would receive it. “It wasn’t exactly tense, but I kept thinking about how people would react. Seeing such a positive response feels really good.”
Speaking about director Mehedi Hasan Hridoy, Siam described him as extremely passionate about his craft. “Among all the directors I have worked with, he is one of the craziest when it comes to work. He has big dreams and works incredibly hard. While making ‘Rakkhosh’, we developed a great chemistry.”
He added, “Hridoy bhai always thinks about the audience. He understands entertainment. I believe we will do something even bigger together in the future.”
Siam also expressed happiness about several films releasing this Eid. “It feels great that so many films are coming out. They are all our films — there’s no division. My first film’s co-star Puja Chery also has a film releasing this Eid — ‘Domm’, directed by Redoan Rony, who also directed my first drama. So we are all connected in one way or another, which makes me very happy.”
Mentioning all the films releasing this Eid, Siam wished everyone for great success. “We are all part of the same family. My love and best wishes for every film releasing this Eid, including ‘Rakkhosh’.”
