Radhuni, a popular brand of Square Consumer Products, will arrange a two-day cultural extravaganza in Rome from April 13.
   The organisers informed media at a press conference held on Saturday in the city. Abdul Mukit Muzamder, director of Impress Telefilm Limited, Mohammad Malik Syeed, head of marketing of Square Consumers Products limited and Obadiul Haq, assistant marketing manager of the same organisation, among others, were present at the briefing.
   They said that the noted singers and performers would take part at the programme titled ‘Radhuni Bangladesh Night’.
   Among the artists, popular singers Sabina Yasmin, Kumar Bishwajit, Bari Siddiquee, Ankhi Alamgir, Nukul Kumar Bishwas, Biplab and Shahnaz Belly will sing at the programme. Popular performers Mahfuz Ahmed, Purnima, Tisha, Tinni, and model-turned-actor Novel will also attend the extravaganza.
   The organisers hoped that the cultural programme would not only uphold the spice product Radhuni among the Italians but also would present the cultural heritage.
   The two-day cultural function would also delight the expatriate Bangladeshis in Rome, they added.
   They also said that the product had already earned a good response in the Italian market and this sort of programme would help to popularise the product more in that country.
   Channel-i will co-operate with the organisers as the media partner for the event.
