Moreover, Sojan Mahmud is in camera and national award-winning Mohammad Ali is in makeup.
Nader Chowdhury said about the film, “Since this is my first directorial film, there has been absolutely no compromise. I expect that the film will certainly influence the viewers to go to the hall. The film’s story is built upon a strong foundation and I believe it will create a spark in the viewers’ minds.”  
The story of the film is about the life of the inhabitants and communities of char and their everyday life, joy-sorrow, love-affairs. There are many families- who were landlords once upon a time, but lost their lands and lost almost everything in river erosion. Now to live their lives, they take different professions. Among them, a few families turned into fishermen and their foremost belief is that their much-anticipated day will come soon, when the lost char will rise again. And that day they will get their land back again. Each of them has various colourful dreams centring the rise of char. The story of the film will move forward from this point. l
