Controversy

The production of Operation Agnipath, starring Shakib Khan, faced a prolonged delay primarily due to an ongoing dispute between its director, Ashiqur Rahman, and producer, Jane Alam. Allegations of financial mismanagement, lack of professionalism, and budget overruns led to severe friction between the director and producer, leaving the shooting incomplete and stalling the film's progress for several years.[2]

In March 2023, Rahmat Ullah, one of the co-producers of Operation Agneepath, submitted a complaint to Bangladeshi film associations alleging that Shakib Khan behaved unprofessionally and committed sexual assault against a female crew member during the film's Sydney schedule in 2016. According to New South Wales Police records, an event reference report had been logged regarding an incident in September 2016, and Khan was briefly questioned by local police in early 2018; however, no formal criminal charges or convictions were documented. Khan denied all allegations, describing them as an attempt at extortion, and subsequently filed a defamation lawsuit against Rahmat Ullah in Dhaka. The alleged victim also stated in media reports that she had not authorized any third party to lodge complaints on her behalf.[3]

Production

The film's production initially stalled following its preliminary shooting schedule in Australia and the release of a teaser. After a decade-long hiatus due to internal complications, the project was revived with revisions to the original script and cast to align with contemporary cinematic trends. Principal photography is scheduled to resume in 2027, with plans for a theatrical release in non-festival periods later that year.[4]

Release

The official teaser for Operation Agneepath was released in December 2016. However, principal photography was halted following its first schedule in Australia due to internal production disputes and scheduling conflicts. In August 2026, the production house Vertex Production House announced plans to resume filming for the remaining portion in late 2027, with a tentative theatrical release scheduled for December 2027.[5]
