Shihab Shaheen’s Eid special drama ‘Rongila Fanush’ starring Ziaul Faruq Apurba and Sabila Nur crossed 50 lakh views within eight days after it was released on YouTube on August 10.

Produced by CMV, ‘Rongila Fanush’ is the fastest drama-among all the dramas released during this year’s Eid-ul-Azha-to reach 50 lakh views, said a press release issued by the production house on Thursday.

“I am amazed by the response from the viewers. Though it is a comedy drama, we tried to give a message to the society through it,” said Shihab Shaheen.

“Initially, I declined to do the project because of its plot appeared to be pure comedy. But when I shared the story with Apurba, he showed his enthusiasm. Finally, I did the project upon his interest in it,” he shared. Written by Jannatul Firdous Labonno, the story of ‘Rongila Fanush’ revolves around a housemaid, played by Sabila Nur, and her social media life.

“The response we received in eight days is unbelievable,” said Sabila Nur mentioning that she is grateful to the entire team of the drama, its producer and especially, the audience.

Apart from Apurba and Sabila, ‘Rongila Fanush’ features Naziba Basar, Shelly Ahsan and Leuna Islam, among others, in different roles. The drama was viewed more than 51 lakh times as of Thursday afternoon.
