Chanchal Chowdhury has completed shooting for yet another Kolkata production, "Azadi", continuing his growing presence in the West Bengal film industry.

The discussion will centre on the theme: “Art film and commercial film: is the divide disappearing?” Both speakers are expected to draw on their cross-industry experience to reflect on shifting audience tastes and evolving storytelling formats.

However, it was a single moment that quickly caught public attention—a frame featuring Shakib Khan with director Raihan Rafi and actor Chanchal Chowdhury. The trio, who previously collaborated on “Toofan”, were seen sharing a warm exchange, embracing and celebrating their recent successes.

Amid this success, “Domm” is set to begin its international journey as the first Eid film to screen abroad.

Chanchal Chowdhury, celebrated across both Bengals, is currently working on a new film in Kolkata. He has been shooting there and spoke to The Daily Star over the phone recently.

The trailer of “Domm”, starring Afran Nisho, Chanchal Chowdhury and Puja Chery, has been released, further heightening audience anticipation following its poster and teaser. However, just two days ahead of its release, the producers have announced that the film will not be released in single-screen theatres initially due to piracy concerns.

Bangladeshi actor Chanchal Chowdhury has revealed that he was initially approached to act in Dev-starrer “Khadaan”, but had to step away from the project because of scheduling complications.

Alongside acting, Chanchal Chowdhury is also known for his singing. At almost any event, he is often requested to perform a song. He has also been seen covering popular songs by various artists.

Rabindranath Tagore’s celebrated short story “Shasti”, previously adapted for the screen by Chashi Nazrul Islam in 2004, is set to return in a new cinematic form—this time reimagined for a contemporary audience.

In addition to these projects, Chowdhury completed shooting for Raihan Rafi’s “Andhar” quite some time ago, and the film is now awaiting release. “I believe it’s going to be another strong piece of work,” he said.

Pori Moni and Chanchal Chowdhury are set to collaborate for the first time in a film inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s short story “Shasti”.

Adapted from a beloved novel by Humayun Ahmed’s novel “Kichukkhon”, the film “Bonolota Express” is all set to go on the floors from December 15.

Director Redoan Rony is making his long-awaited return to the big screen with “Domm”, a survival drama starring Afran Nisho, Chanchal Chowdhury, and Puja Chery.

Chanchal said, “It’s not confirmed yet, but discussions are ongoing. There’s a possibility. Hopefully, we’ll work together.”

Chanchal Chowdhury has begun shooting for his latest Tollywood venture “Shekor”, directed by noted filmmaker Bratya Basu. The film went on floors recently, and Chanchal joined the shoot on Monday in Birbhum, Kolkata.

The first teaser, unveiled today, reveals that “Bonolota Express” is set to hit theatres on Eid-ul-Fitr 2025.

Although Chanchal Chowdhury has not worked extensively in Tollywood, his popularity in West Bengal is as high as it is in Bangladesh. This has often brought him invitations to events across the border, where he has received awards and honours. On Sunday (August 31) night, the fifth Bengal International Excellence Award and the second Kolkata Ratna Samman ceremony were held at a hotel in Kolkata, where Chanchal was present as a guest of honour. He was presented with the Bengal International Excellence Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to acting.

Renowned Bangladeshi actor Chanchal Chowdhury has built a career in which almost every film he has worked on has been met with a warm audience reception. His latest project, “Utshob”, has continued that streak of success.

“Taan” is based on a story by legendary Bengali writer Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay. The narrative revolves around an elderly man who is suddenly reunited with a long-lost lover, shaking the foundations of his family life. The emotional fallout from her return brings layers of drama, tension, and introspection.

For the first time, Afran Nisho and filmmaker Redoan Rony are joining forces on the new cinematic venture “Domm”. According to the production team, the film is scheduled for release during the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr.
