Recently we organized a cosplay show at Manisq. Mall. It is based on our renowned game Fight of the Legends. The game consists of different characters like Mahavir, Moon lord, Mitra, Trikutala, Cryptom, Sonia, Shaina, Akahime, Nishi, Vajra etc. The well-known faces of glam world (Ayendri, Dipanjan, Supriyo, Reya, Payel, Preet, Damini, Faizan, Puja) beautifully portray these characters. Their performance was worth watching. Each of them looked stunning in the attire of the game.
