TBT REPORT
The much-discussed episode of the popular magazine show "Ityadi" is set to hit screens soon, following its shoot earlier this month at the historic Rajbari of Ranisankail, Thakurgaon. Contrary to rumours suggesting the shoot was cancelled due to a vandalism incident on January 9, production house Fagun Audio Vision confirmed that the show went on without major issues.
According to the production team, a misunderstanding occurred when a larger-than-expected crowd gathered on set, exceeding its capacity. Although filming was temporarily halted, the episode was completed successfully and is now set to air on BTV on January 31, Friday.
This episode features an exclusive interview with renowned politician Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, a native of Thakurgaon. The interview focuses on various lesser-known aspects of his life, and notably, the discussion remains entirely apolitical.
Additionally, the episode will showcase musical performances by singers Robi Chowdhury and Liza, with a song composed and arranged by Kishore Das and penned by Liton Adhikary Rintu.
Thakurgaon's distinct culture is highlighted with an introductory song written by Moniruzzaman Palash, performed by over 100 local dancers. Rohit Khan Tuhin led the choreography, and vocals were provided by Tanzina Ruma, Rajib, Ayon Chaklader, and Sanjida Rimi, with music composed by Hanif Sanket and arranged by Mehedi.
"Ityadi", known for its focus on people engaged in humanitarian efforts from rural areas, will continue its tradition of airing informative, educational, and awareness-raising segments. The episode will also feature sharp, socially conscious skits, including the show's staple "Nani-Nati" segment, though this time, the grandmother character (Nani) will be notably absent from the stage, leaving viewers curious about the grandson's (Nati) role in her absence.
The show is written, directed, and hosted by Hanif Sanket and produced by Fagun Audio Vision.
