“The song is closely tied to the storyline"
In an exciting fusion of music and cinema, rapper Jalali Shafayat has made his debut on the big screen through the upcoming film Neelchokro.
The film is set to hit theatres in Bangladesh on Eid-ul-2025.
It features Shafayat as a performer and as an actor, marking a major milestone in his career.
Teaming up with veteran singer and composer Balam, Shafayat has lent his voice to a new track titled ‘Ei Ondhokarer Shohore’.
The song, already creating buzz online, plays a vital role in Neelchokro‘s storyline.
Its music video depicts a high-energy teenage DJ party, where Shafayat is seen rapping and dancing, with Balam making a special appearance.
Shafayat wrote the lyrics, while Balam handled the music arrangement, resulting in a vibrant and meaningful composition.
He said: “I play a rapper in the film, so the character naturally aligns with my real-life persona.
“Through the song, I’ve tried to portray the realities confronting today’s youth. I hope audiences connect with the message.”
Director Mithu Khan confirmed that Neelchokro is the first film to feature Shafayat both as a voice artist and actor.
He explained: “The song is closely tied to the storyline, and Shafayat wrote the lyrics based on the film’s composition.”
The film blends music, drama, and a strong social message in a techno-thriller format.
Starring Arifin Shuvoo and Mondera Chakroborty, Neelchokro explores how technology affects today’s youth.
It digs into the ways digital platforms are used to manipulate, distract, and even exploit vulnerable users.
The screenplay, crafted by Nazim Ud Daula, Anjan Sarkar, and Mithu Khan, attempts to expose the dangers lurking beneath online addiction.
The supporting cast includes several familiar faces.
These include Fazlur Rahman Babu, Priyontee Urbee, Shahed Ali, Monir Ahmed Shakil, Tiger Robi, Shirin Alam, Masum Rezwan, and Adity.
The project is backed by Film Fayos Production and presented by Film Life Production.
Neelchokro had its world premiere at the American Film Market in Las Vegas, a prestigious platform for international features.
Fans of Jalali Shafayat are eagerly waiting for its national release.
With its mix of a gripping narrative and fresh musical elements, the film is expected to attract diverse audiences.
