The upcoming Bangladeshi film Rockstar has already become one of the most talked-about releases ahead of Eid-ul-Adha 2026. Starring superstar Shakib Khan and directed by Azman Russo, the film is generating major excitement for its stylish teaser, musical theme, and ambitious production quality.
Recently, music director Jahid Nirob shared several behind-the-scenes details during a television interview, giving fans a closer look at the sound design and musical vision behind the film.
‘Rockstar’ Is More Than Just a Film for Zahid Nirob
According to Jahid Nirob, working on Rockstar has been a unique creative challenge because the story itself revolves around music and the journey of an artist becoming a rockstar.
He explained that the background score was designed to support the emotional transformation of the lead character — from struggle and ambition to fame, heartbreak, and personal growth.
Nirob emphasized that every musical detail, including guitar tones, drum textures, and instrumental arrangements, was carefully planned to match the cinematic atmosphere.
Live Instrument Recording Was a Major Focus
One of the biggest highlights from the interview was Nirob’s discussion about live recording techniques used in the film’s soundtrack.
Instead of depending heavily on digital instruments and software-generated sounds, the team reportedly recorded many instruments live to achieve a richer and more authentic sound.
He revealed that:
- Live drums were recorded for multiple tracks
- Bass and guitar sections were played live
- String arrangements were recorded in London
- Sitar and sarangi sessions took place in Mumbai
According to him, the goal was to push Bangladeshi film music toward a more international standard.
Multiple Music Genres Will Be Featured in the Film
Unlike conventional commercial films, Rockstar will not focus on a single musical style.
Jahid Nirob said the soundtrack explores a wide range of genres, including:
- Rock and roll
- Romantic melodies
- Indian classical music
- Rap-inspired compositions
- Modern cinematic soundscapes
He described the project as an opportunity to experiment creatively and showcase musical diversity within one film.
Director Azman Russo’s Clear Creative Vision
During the conversation, Nirob also praised director Azman Russo for having a very specific artistic vision.
He mentioned that Russo knows exactly what kind of sound and mood he wants for each scene, which helped the music department work more efficiently.
According to Nirob, this clarity made the collaboration smoother and allowed the team to maintain a consistent musical identity throughout the film.
“Amake Uriye Dao” Is Already Building Hype
The teaser soundtrack, especially the line “Amake Uriye Dao,” has already gained attention among fans online.
Nirob performed a small portion of the song during the interview and confirmed that the lyrics were written and sung by Ahmed Hasan Sunny.
He also revealed that some of the social media buzz surrounding the lyrics started unexpectedly from a playful Facebook comment among the team members.
Shakib Khan Will Be Seen in a Different Style
Speaking about Shakib Khan, Jahid Nirob said audiences will experience a fresh version of the superstar in this film.
From body language to keyboard performance gestures, the actor reportedly worked carefully to portray the personality of a musician realistically.
Nirob also praised Shakib Khan’s professionalism and dedication, saying he was impressed after observing the actor closely during studio sessions.
Jahid Nirob Dreams of Large-Scale Musical Productions
One of the most interesting moments from the interview came when Jahid Nirob spoke about his long-term ambitions as a music producer.
He said he dreams of working on a massive action film someday where he could organize a large-scale live recording session with hundreds of musicians performing together inside a stadium.
According to him, Bangladeshi cinema has the potential to achieve that level of musical production in the future.
Can ‘Rockstar’ Change the Sound of Bangladeshi Cinema?
Nirob believes the entertainment industry in Bangladesh is currently evolving rapidly thanks to digital platforms and online audiences.
He mentioned that talented musicians from outside Dhaka are now reaching wider audiences without depending on traditional industry systems.
Because of this changing landscape, he feels films like Rockstar can help redefine how music is used in Bangladeshi commercial cinema.
Final Thoughts
With its ambitious soundtrack, live recording sessions, genre-blending music, and the star power of Shakib Khan, Rockstar is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Bangladeshi films of 2026.
If the film successfully delivers on its musical promises, it could become an important milestone for modern Bangladeshi film music.
