Renowned Bangladeshi singer, composer, and music director Hridoy Khan is preparing to release a new solo single titled ‘Hahakar’ after a long interval without individual song releases. The announcement marks his return to standalone music production, following a period in which he focused more on other creative projects.
The lyrics of the song have been written by contemporary lyricist Someshwar Oli, who has been active in the Bangladeshi music industry in recent years. Hridoy Khan has composed and arranged the music himself, maintaining full creative control over the musical structure, a role he has frequently undertaken throughout his career.
According to official information, ‘Hahakar’ is scheduled for release on 24 April and will be made available on the artist’s official YouTube channel. Hridoy Khan has stated that although his musical output had slowed in recent years, audience interest in his work remained consistent. He noted that repeated requests from listeners encouraged him to return with a new song. He also explained that the production of ‘Hahakar’ was guided by an intention to preserve the melodic style that initially established his identity in the industry, while also presenting it in a contemporary arrangement. He expressed the expectation that the new release would align with audience anticipation.
In addition to his musical activities, Hridoy Khan has recently expanded his involvement in filmmaking. Earlier this year, he released a short film titled ‘Trapped’ on his personal YouTube platform. He directed the project and also appeared in the lead role. The film featured model and actress Monalisa as the female lead opposite him.
The production of ‘Trapped’ spanned approximately four years, reflecting a lengthy development process aimed at refining the final presentation. The film was officially released on 16 January.
As part of the same project, a song titled ‘Shada Kalo’ was also released. Hridoy Khan performed, composed, and arranged the track. In addition, he was responsible for directing the visual execution of the project, while cinematography was handled by Ali Afroze Arnob.
