After the unveiling of Shakib Khan and Tanjin Tisha's character looks for "Soldier" on social media, fans were treated to another surprise: content creator Rakin Absar appearing in a striking, never-before-seen avatar in Shakeeb Fahad's upcoming film.

Known largely for his comedic roles and online sketches, Rakin Absar appears in a far more intense and assertive look for the upcoming patriotic action film. 

The actor sports a full-grown beard, hinting at a darker, more serious transformation. Although he has not disclosed his character's name or details, the mysterious makeover has already fueled speculation among fans—many hoping he may take on a villainous or psychotic role.

Social media users have been praising his bold shift, applauding him for stepping outside his usual comedic persona.

"Soldier" features an ensemble cast that includes Shakib Khan, Tanjin Tisha, Tariq Anam Khan, Touqir Ahmed, and Jannatul Ferdous Oishee. The film is set against a patriotic backdrop and is slated for theatrical release in 2026.
