Zubeen Garg’s final film ‘Roi Roi Binale’ to release on Oct 31, says filmmaker Rajesh Bhuyan

Assamese filmmaker Rajesh Bhuyan has shared that the upcoming film ‘Roi Roi Binale’, which was a personal project of the late music legend Zubeen Garg, will be released nationwide on October 31.

Bhuyan said the film will feature the “original voice” recordings of Zubeen and will now serve as a tribute to the singer’s immense talent and passion for Assamese music.

“We were working on this movie for the last three years. The story and music of the movie were by Zubeen... This was the first musical Assamese movie... We had completed almost all the work on the movie, except for the background music...,” the filmmaker told ANI.

“Zubeen wanted this movie to be released on October 31, so we have decided to release it on the same date, not just in Assam but nationwide... Zubeen’s voice is almost 80-90% clear as we had recorded it using a lapel mic. So, we will use his original voice only,” he added.

Zubeen was allegedly “poisoned” in Singapore, and his manager Siddharth Sharma and festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta had “deliberately chosen a foreign venue to conceal their conspiracy,” the late singer’s bandmate Shekhar Jyoti Goswami has alleged, according to official documents with the police.

Both Sharma and Mahanta have been arrested by the police as part of their investigation into the death of the famous singer. Shekhar Jyoti Goswami and co-singer Amritprava Mahanta have also been arrested in the case.

Zubeen passed away in Singapore on September 19 after an alleged drowning incident. The singer had been in Singapore for the Northeast India Festival.
