After completing the shooting of his upcoming movie "Andhar", popular Dhallywood actor Siam Ahmed is gearing up for another anticipated film titled "Rakkhoss".
For weeks, speculation surrounded the project, particularly about who would be cast as the heroine. Names like Dighi and Sabila Nur were widely discussed, but the makers took their time finalising the decision.
Now, putting an end to all the rumours, a source close to the production has confirmed that Kolkata actress Idhika Paul will play the female lead.

Beyond Dhallywood, Idhika has strengthened her foothold in Tollywood with notable performances opposite Dev in the films "Khadan" and "Raghu Dakat".
Meanwhile Siam recent "Jongly", released during Eid-ul-Fitr, saw him paired with Shobnom Bubly. Since his debut in "Poramon 2", Siam has showcased versatility across commercial,action, and content-driven films.
