About attending the Shanghai International Film Festival, Mostofa Sarwar Farooki wrote on his Facebook wall,”I am sharing another good news. In my childhood, I was stunned by watching Bille August’s Oscar and Palme d’Or award winning film ‘Pelle the Conqueror’ at the german cultural centre. Today when my film has been selected in the same competition with his new film, at that moment I feel overwhelmed like a fanboy.”
