Vicky Zahed’s ‘Chokro’ returns with a new season

Sixteen years ago, a tragic incident in Mymensingh shocked the nation when nine members of one family committed suicide.

Inspired by this event, a 20-episode web series titled “Chokro” was recently released on the OTT platform iScreen.

The chilling storyline, directed by Vicky Zahed and starring Tawsif Mahbub and Tasnia Farin, quickly resonated with audiences. Building on this success, the second season, titled “Chokro 2”, is now ready for release.

The “Chokro” team celebrated their success and announced season 2 last Thursday evening (October 31) by cutting a cake. The event was attended by director Vicky Zahed, actors Tawsif Mahbub, Tasnia Farin, AK Azad Setu, Shahed Ali and other cast and crew members.

Zahed shared that “Chokro 2” is scheduled for release in March or April 2025 as a seven-episode series.

He said: “There is great interest from viewers for season 2, and it picks up where the story left off. Although season 1 had twenty episodes, the entire story could not be told due to the complex plot. I have already completed the storyline for the next part in mind.”

Reflecting on the journey, he continued: “At first I was apprehensive and wondered whether viewers would embrace this type of content after all the challenges we faced. But the positive feedback since release has led us to tonight’s celebration. ” Zahed believes that personal experiences significantly influence any creative work.

This project also marked Tawsif Mahbub’s OTT debut, which received an enthusiastic response from viewers. “My very first OTT project is getting a spin-off, which means the audience loved it. I am grateful to them. My TV drama debut was with ‘All Time Dourer Upor’, and now ‘Chokro’ on OTT. These first projects will always remain special to me.”

“Chokro” is currently streaming on iScreen, with the first five episodes available for free until November 7. After that, viewers must subscribe to watch the series.
