The Bangladesh Film Certification Board has suspended the certification of Shakib Khan starrer “Prince: Once Upon a Time in Dhaka” over allegations of adding unauthorised scenes and songs after receiving approval.

Afzal Hossain revealed that the project was initiated by him as a tribute. “I proposed making this telefilm to honour Ferdousi Majumdar. I felt she deserved such recognition. After completing the project, it feels like our wish has been fulfilled.”

The project credits include Ehsanul Haque, Apoorva Bakshi, Tuhin Tamijul, Ali Afjal Uzzal, Johann Chapelan, Sayba Talukder, Shihab Nurun Nabi, Yash Rohan, Shiam Shams Tusto, and Chinnmoy Roy.

Married since 1993, the two have built parallel careers in music and dance but have not previously appeared together as co-performers.
