Entertainment Report :
Since its release, the film ‘Taandob’, starring Shakib Khan and directed by Raihan Rafi, has garnered enormous public interest. Opening in more than a hundred cinemas nationwide, the film even left some viewers complaining of ticket shortages. Demand is especially strong in multiplexes, where exhibitors have multiplied the daily screenings several-fold compared with other titles.
Amid the box office success, reports emerged that an HD copy of ‘Taandob’ had been leaked on YouTube and other platforms. In response, the production company adopted a hard line. Producer, Shahriar Shakil, filed a complaint with the police seeking legal action under copyright legislation, and detectives have now arrested three suspects in connection with the piracy.
At around 11:45am on Wednesday, Dhaka Metropolitan Police Detective Branch (DB) Joint Commissioner Nasirul Islam confirmed the arrests to media. The three individuals arrested in connection with the piracy of ‘Taandob’ are Tipu Sultan from Noakhali, Sadi Sad from Mymensingh and Sajedul Islam from Sirajganj.
