There is a plan of releasing the movie before March 17, 2021,” Benegal told Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud at meeting at the ministry’s conference room in the Secretariat in the capital yesterday afternoon.

The film based on Bangabandhu’s biography will be made under joint production of the governments of Bangladesh and India, he said.

“A cinema is the outcome of teamwork. Bangladesh’s meritorious people will be involved in making the biopic on Bangabandhu. We will capture scenarios in Bangladesh. So, I am here to observe what kind of facilities we will get in this regard,” said the Indian filmmaker, who arrived in the city on Monday night.

Making a biopic on the life history of a personality like Bangabandhu is a matter of pride, Benegal said, adding, “An excellent friendly relation is prevailing between Bangladesh and India. And by making this movie, the relation will reach a new height”.
