For decades, the magazine show Ittadi has been an inseparable part of Eid festivities in Bangladesh. Known for its innovative segments, rhythmic presentation, and the creative direction of the legendary Hanif Sanket, the show continues to captivate audiences by blending tradition with modern entertainment. This upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr, the programme is set to deliver another major surprise: the musical debut of Dhallywood superstar Shabnam Bubly.
A Star-Studded Collaboration
While Bubly has long reigned as a leading actress in the film industry, this marks her first official foray into the world of professional singing. Stepping away from the silver screen and into the recording booth, she has collaborated with the contemporary heartthrob of the music industry, Imran Mahmudul.
According to sources from Fagun Audio Vision, despite being a non-professional singer, Bubly’s vocal performance was remarkably polished, complementing Imran’s seasoned expertise. The track features lyrics penned by the renowned Kabir Bakul, with composition and musical arrangement handled by Imran himself.
A Legacy of Musical Discoveries
Ittadi has a storied history of transforming actors and models into celebrated vocalists. By providing a high-profile platform for hidden talents, the show has consistently surprised its viewers.
