“The Night of Pritom Hasan” will feature the singer performing his popular songs alongside other renowned artistes who will all join the singer on stage to create a spectacular night for his fans on October 26 at Hall 4 of the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) in the capital.
The artiste turned to social media to connect with his fans. He asked them to share their favourite songs, and from their responses, he curated a playlist of 18 beloved tracks. This carefully selected list includes hits like "Shorgohara", "Bhenge Porona Ebhabe", "Ami Amar Moto", "Shoroter Shesh Thekey", "Rajkumar", and "Shotti Naki Bhul" among others.
