Commando, produced by Shapla Media, began filming in Kolkata before the pandemic started. Bangladeshi actress Jahara Mitu will be seen with actor Dev in this movie.
Though the shoot was scheduled for completion in a single stretch, it had to be suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The shooting unit comprises of 370 people. Each of them has taken part in the work after ensuring they are corona negative, said Rony. Besides, they have health insurance, he added.
Under the SAPTA agreement between Dhaka and Kolkata, several of Dev's movies, including Kelor Kirti, Champ, and Password, were screened in Bangladesh.
However, Commando is the first film of Dev which is solely being made by Bangladesh.
The director said they plan to release the movie during Eid-ul-Fitr next year. But again, he said, everything depends on the coronavirus situation.
