The much-anticipated trailer of Shyam Benegal's monumental film, Mujib, is out. The film serves as a biographical tribute to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the towering legend of Bangladesh.
The trailer immerses viewers into the tumultuous era of political upheaval when Bangladesh, then East Pakistan, asserted its independence through a full-scale war with Pakistan.
Mujib - The Making of a Nation, a biographical film about Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, documents the journey of one of modern history's greatest leaders. As Bangladesh's first President, he was popularly known as Bangabandhu, which means 'Friend of Bengal,’ and is regarded as a towering figure who played a significant role in determining the fate of Bangladesh.
Crafted from a compelling story and screenplay by Shama Zaidi & Atul Tiwari. The film includes a stellar cast with Arifin Shuvoo in the title role, Nusrat Imrose Tisha, Nusraat Faria, Chanchal Chowdhury, Riaz Ahmed, Fazlur Rahman Babu, Tauquir Ahmed, and a special appearance by Siam Ahmed.
Akashdeep Pandey handled the cinematography, while National award winner Aseem Sinha expertly edited the film. With action sequences orchestrated by Sham Kaushal, art direction by Vishnu Nishad, production design by Nitish Roy, Costume designs by Pia Benegal and soul-stirring music by Shantanu Moitra.
Benegal shared his insights, stating, "The film not only reflects the towering personality that was Bangabandhu, but we have also tried to portray the contemporary historical events as authentically as possible. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is not only a legend but the man behind the birth of a nation. I have tried to capture these historical moments with much sincerity. I am sure this film will resonate with everybody."
The film will have a worldwide release in Hindi and Bengali on October 27. Panorama Studios International will distribute the film worldwide.
