Lucky Akhand stopped his career after the death of his younger brother Happy Akhand in 1987. He returned after a decade with two albums named “Porichoy Kobe Hobe” and “Bitrishna Jibone Amar” in 1998.

“Porichoy Kobe Hobe” was his second solo album and the remake of his brother Happy Akhand’s solo album. “Bitrishna Jibone Amar” was a band and modern mix album. Six singers James, Ayub Bachchu, Hasan, Kumar Biswajit, Tapan Chowdhury and Samina Chowdhury sang together in this album.
