Director Mostofa Sarwar Farooki has sparked anticipation among fans regarding a potential third installment in his popular satirical comedy series. After the success of his 2007 series 420 and the 2024 sequel 840, the filmmaker hinted at a new project titled 1680. The social media buzz began after Farooki shared a photograph on Sunday night featuring actor Mosharraf Karim, fueling speculation that they are collaborating on a new project.
In the caption accompanying the photo, Farooki wrote, “420 is done. 840 is also done. Time for 1680? Distinguished guys?” While the post strongly suggests the continuation of his satirical brand, the director has remained tight-lipped about whether the project will be a full-length film or another television series. When asked for further details, he opted to maintain the mystery, stating that he has already shared all the information he is currently prepared to disclose.
The original series 420 gained significant acclaim for its dark humor and political satire, focusing on two thieves who navigate the complex world of city politics. That project featured a star-studded cast including Mosharraf Karim, Nusrat Imrose Tisha, Lutfur Rahman George, Sohel Khan, and Marzuk Russell. Its sequel, 840, shifted the focus to the lives of deposed political leaders and drew critical praise for performances by Nasir Uddin Khan, Fazlur Rahman Babu, Shahriyar Nazim Joy, Marzuk Russell, and Zakia Bari Mamo.
As audiences look forward to what 1680 might entail, the project stands as a highly anticipated chapter in Farooki’s ongoing exploration of sociopolitical dynamics through satire. Fans now await formal confirmation on the format and release timeline for this potential third installment.
