Audios Inc. and Script teamed up to work on this beauty enhancement joint venture. According to the agreement, this silver guitar was made symbolizing Ayub Bachchu’s famous song Rupali Guitar (Silver Guitar).

The City Corporation authorities said: “We believe this initiative will make this a favorite for band musicians and band music lovers. Many people will come to this courtyard. Famous singer and guitarist Ayub Bachchu will be remembered by all those who visit this place.”

Ayub Bachchan fans are extremely excited about this silver guitar. They thanked Chittagong City Corporation for their respect for the artist.
