We all are very excited as Bangladesh Censor Board has passed ‘Swatta’ with flying colours.”
Shakib Khan said, “I told you earlier that this is a classical film. After completing the shooting, it seemed I made no mistake at all. Usually, viewers are not used to watching me playing in this type of films earlier. Everyone will enjoy a great film with a nice story.”
The script and dialogue of the film are written by Ferdous Hasan based on the story of Sohanee Hossain’s ‘Maa’.
