Two promising young singers of the current generation Protik Hasan and Dithi Anwar will perform the songs from the once-popular film ‘Chandni’ at an upcoming programme, which is has been organised to celebrate the film’s (‘Chandni’) silver jubilee. It has been 25 years since the release of ‘Chandni’ starring once-popular duo Nayeem and Shabnaz. To celebrate the film’s silver jubilee, the real life couple as well as the ‘Chandni’ family will be holding a celebration titled ‘Chandni Swaran Shondhya’ on November 19 at a restaurant in the capital’s Gulshan area with everyone associated with the film. Presided over by director Azizur Rahman, Cultural Affairs Minister Asaduzzaman Noor will be present as chief guest. In addition, eminent personalities from the film industry will also be present at the event.
Late singer Khalid Hasan Milu had lent his vocal to the songs of the film and Gazi Mazharul Anwar was the lyricist. Now, it the turn for their siblings to shine as Protik Hasan, son of Khalid Hasan Milu and Dithi Anwar, daughter of Gazi Mazharul Anwar, will be part of the celebrations as they will be performing the songs of the film.
An exited Dithi Anwar said, “I was a young child when ‘Chandni’ was released. Even though I did not sing then, the fact that I will now be singing at this celebration is a matter of great joy. What is even greater is that I will be performing in front of some of the industry’s biggest names. This feeling is so wonderful that it is beyond words.” Protik Hasan said, “My father lent his vocal to the songs of ‘Chandni’. I was maybe three or four years old that time. Even from that young age, I developed a special fondness for those songs. Today, my father is no longer here. But the fact that I will be singing those songs will be an honour to him. I feel really proud that I am being able to do this and I am so grateful to Nayeem and Shabnaz for giving me this opportunity.” Nayeem and Shabnaz also mentioned that in addition to the songs of ‘Chandni’, Protik and Dithi will also be rendering songs from the several popular films starring Nayeem and Shabnaz.
