Dev and Koel Mallick first worked together in 2008 in the film Premer Kahini. Their last collaboration was the 2017 movie Cockpit. After a long gap, whether this popular duo will return to the big screen remains a question Dev, the lead actor of Khadan, may answer himself.
In the history of Bengali cinema, Khadan‘s budget of ₹20 crore marks a significant milestone. Even a month and a half after its release, the film continues to dominate the box office. At the grand success party, Dev and Koel were seen together after a long time, sparking excitement among fans. A special announcement was also made during the event.
Koel Mallick’s husband, Nispal Singh Rane, co-produced Khadan alongside Dev. Playfully introducing Koel as “my producer,” Dev added humor to the celebration. Several pictures from the party quickly went viral on social media, fueling curiosity among Bengali cinema enthusiasts about the duo’s potential return to the silver screen.
The audience had already demanded a new film featuring Dev and Koel when they were spotted together during Saraswati Puja. At the success party, Dev expressed interest in working with Koel again but emphasized the importance of finding the right script. If a suitable story comes along, fans may finally get to see their favorite pair back on the big screen.
Insights on Koel’s Motherhood
At the end of 2024, Koel Mallick and Nispal Singh welcomed their second child.

So far, Koel and Nispal have not shared any pictures of their daughter. Regarding her name, Koel mentioned that they haven’t finalized one yet. She humorously added that five-year-old Kabir treats his sister like a doll, constantly pinching her cheeks!
