The gripping Hoichoi action drama-thriller Mission Huntdown, with its star-studded cast comprising Bangladeshi actors FS Nayeem as Mahid and Bidya Sinha Mim as Neera, is a suspenseful, action-packed series. Directed by Sunny Sanwar and Faisal Ahmed, this series marks the debut of Bidya Sinha Mim on her very first Hoichoi project.

Mission Huntdown explores the story of ATS chief Mahid, a ruthless cop whose only mission is to bring down terrorist organisations as his wife was murdered by a group of terrorists in front of his eyes. It also follows a simple village girl Neera, who comes to Dhaka to find her missing newly-married husband Zillur. She seeks help from law enforcement authorities but the police seem unwilling to help her. Mahid is introduced to Neera, and together they embark on a journey where their missions align but soon they unearth a terrorist organisation conspiring to create chaos and anarchy in the country. Sumit Sengupta, Sarker Raunak Ripon and AK Azad Shetu also portray significant roles in the series.

Talking about his role in the series, FS Nayeem said: “Starring in Mission Huntdown (streaming on Hoichoi now) wasn’t like acting in just any project, it was an ego-transcending spiritual experience for me. I have been living in my character Mahid’s headspace for the last four months — this role is that much special to me and I have given it my 100 per cent effort and energy. I am grateful to Hoichoi and the show creators for believing in me.”

“It’s my first time working with Hoichoi and it’s been an absolute pleasure. I am thankful to my directors Sunny Sanwar and Faisal Ahmed, who presented me with the challenge of bringing such a complex character like Neera to life, as I always love a good challenge,” says Mim.

Sunny Sanwar, co-director of Mission Huntdown, added,“Making a web series in a popular genre like action-thriller requires two things — an experienced team and a budget supporting that. Kudos to Hoichoi for having the brave spirit to be a trailblazer and giving us the support we needed to make a show like this. A show like Mission Huntdown says a simple story yet is experimental in its own way.”
