Roi Roi Binale is said to be a personal project of the singer. Previously, the film’s director Rajesh Bhuyan revealed that the musical Assamese movie will also feature “original voice” recordings of Zubeen.

“We were working on this movie for the last three years. The story and music of the movie were by Zubeen Garg… 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 Garg passed away on September 19. Garg was rescued from the sea by Singapore police and immediately rushed to a nearby hospital. He was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where doctors monitored his condition and provided intensive care. Despite these efforts, the singer sadly succumbed to his injuries. The singer had travelled to Singapore to participate in the North East Festival, where he was scheduled to perform on the day of the incident.

Assam CID’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) is investigating Zubeen Garg’s death case. So far, they have questioned several people related to the case. The five accused in the case — main event organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, Zubeen Garg’s Manager Siddharth Sharma, his cousin Sandipan Garg (suspended APS officer) and two PSOs Nandeswar Bora — were also remanded to judicial custody and lodged in the Baksa jail.
