Tasnia Farin has been finalised as the lead actress in the upcoming film "Prince", which stars popular Dhallywood actor Shakib Khan in the lead role. However, while Kolkata-based actor Idhika Paul was initially expected to co-star in the project, sources suggest she may no longer be part of the film.

Multiple sources close to the production have confirmed the development to The Daily Star. According to them, Farin is set to sign the contract later this week, as discussions with her have already been finalised. Idhika Paul, however, will reportedly not appear in the film.

Speculation about Idhika's involvement had circulated widely on social media, but insiders have now confirmed that she will not be joining the cast.

"Prince" is directed by Abu Hayat Mahmud and produced by Shirin Sultana under the banner of Creative Land Films. The action-based film is being made with an eye on an upcoming Eid release, with shooting scheduled to begin in the first week of December.
